Product Description

Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS) describes approximately 50% of ferrite and austenite and Steels also contain alloying elements such as Mo, Cu, Nb, Ti, and N. Content, the Cr content is 18% to 28 percent, and the Ni content is 3% to 10%. Some Contain less than 30 percent of stainless steel. In the case of diminished C content, the DSS may have improved weldability and corrosion resistance. Carbon has a strong affinity with chromium, which can form chromium carbides, reducing the amount of available chromium to form the protective chromium oxide layer on the surface of the steel. This can lead to localized corrosion and decreased corrosion resistance. Therefore, reducing the C content can increase the availability of chromium for forming the protective oxide layer, resulting in improved corrosion resistance.

This type of steel unites the characteristics of ferritic and austenitic stainless steel. In comparison with ferrite, it has higher plasticity and toughness, no brittleness at room temperature to intergranular corrosion and welding functionality, and at the same time retains iron. The 475 brittleness and high thermal conductivity of the stainless steel make it superplastic. Compared with austenitic stainless steels, they have high durability and resistance to chloride stress corrosion resistance and intergranular corrosion. Duplex stainless steel has corrosion resistance and is also nickel-saving stainless steel.

Classification of Duplex Stainless Steel Sheets

Duplex stainless steels are classified according to their chemical composition and can be classified into four types: Cr18 kind, Cr23 (excluding Mo) kind, Cr22 type, and Cr25 type. For the Cr25 kind of duplex stainless steel, it can be divided into form and super duplex stainless steel. Among these, the Cr22 kind and Cr25 types are utilized. The specific grades are 3RE60 (Cr18 type ), SAF2304 (Cr23 type), SAF2507 (Cr22 type ), and SAF2507 (Cr25 type).

  • Cr18 Duplex Stainless Steel: Its chemical composition contains 18% chromium and about 5% to 8% nickel, as well as small amounts of molybdenum and nitrogen. This type of stainless steel has high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good welding properties, and is widely used in chemical, marine, shipbuilding, and other fields.
  • Cr22 Duplex Stainless Steel: Its chemical composition contains 22% chromium and about 6% to 8% nickel, as well as small amounts of molybdenum and nitrogen, and other elements. This type of stainless steel has higher strength and better corrosion resistance and is suitable for applications requiring higher strength and more severe corrosive environments, such as petroleum, chemical, marine, etc.
  • Cr25 Duplex Stainless Steel: It’s chemical composition contains 25% chromium and about 7% to 9% nickel, as well as small amounts of elements such as molybdenum and nitrogen. This type of stainless steel has higher strength and better corrosion resistance and is divided into two types: duplex and super duplex. Super duplex stainless steel has outstanding strength and corrosion resistance and is suitable for marine engineering, the chemical industry, shipbuilding, and other fields.
  • Cr23 Duplex Stainless Steel: This type of stainless steel does not contain molybdenum, but contains 23% chromium and 3% to 5% nickel, as well as a small amount of nitrogen and copper, and other elements. It has better corrosion resistance and higher strength and is suitable for use in acidic environments and some special working conditions.

Production Process of 2507 Stainless Steel Sheets

Billet Furnace Heating

Put the raw steel billet into the heating furnace for heating, and the billet is heated to a suitable temperature for the subsequent rolling process.

Rolling Process

The heated billets are fed into a rolling mill for rolling process. In the rolling mill, the billets are rolled several times to make them into plates of suitable thickness.

Pickling Treatment

In order to remove the surface oxidation and dirt on the billet surface left by the rolling process, pickling treatment is required for the plate. The pickling solution is generally a mixture of hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

Finishing

In order to make the surface of the plate smooth, the plate needs to be finished. The surface treatment is usually done by mechanical polishing or chemical brightening treatment.

Cold Rolling

In order to achieve higher flatness and finer thickness, cold rolling of the sheet is required. The cold rolling process is generally carried out on a special cold rolling mill to achieve the appropriate thickness of the sheet.

Rolling Annealing

In order to improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the plate, the plate needs to be rolled and annealed. Rolling annealing is generally carried out in a hydrogen atmosphere at a controlled temperature of about 1000°C for a few hours to several dozen hours.
