Duplex Steel Tubing

Duplex Steel Tubing is an alloy composed of a combination of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum blended in varying proportions. When chromium, nickel and molybdenum percentages are balanced correctly, high-strength stainless steel has excellent corrosion-resistant properties. The presence of chrome helps to resist pitting and crevice corrosion, while the nickel content adds mechanical ductility and formability. Molybdenum increases hardenability making Duplex Steel Tubing ideal for demanding applications that require superior tensile strength, fatigue resistance and weldability.

Duplex steel tubing is a material that has become increasingly popular due to its unique combination of properties. It has a higher chromium and nickel content than ferritic and austenitic stainless steels, allowing the tubing to be corrosion-resistant and highly durable. Uses for Duplex steel tubing include many industrial applications, such as structural components in ships and heavy earth-moving equipment, oil refineries, chemical plants and pipelines.

Additionally, its precise internal diameters are favourable for many process lines related to food processing and medical devices. Its ability to withstand pressure makes it an excellent material for tubing that transports fluid or gas under both static and dynamic conditions. Duplex steel offers a number of advantages when compared to more traditional materials for engineering applications, making it a favourite choice among engineering professionals across numerous industries.
