Material to UNS S32760 (and the other specifications listed below) is described as a super duplex stainless steel with a microstructure of 50:50 austenite and ferrite. The steel combines high mechanical strength (typically up to 600 MPa yield strength) and good ductility with outstanding corrosion resistance to marine environments and a wide, diverse range of oil & gas production environments. The alloy is supplied with a PREn (Pitting Resistance Equivalent) at >40.0 which guarantees high resistance to pitting corrosion. In addition, the steel offers high resistance to crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Ambient and subzero (down to minus 500C) notch ductility is good. These attributes mean that this super duplex steel can be used successfully as an alternative to 300 series stainless steel (such as type 316), standard 22% Cr duplex steel and precipitation hardening stainless steels. Where appropriate the alloy can be considered in lieu of more costly Grade 5 titanium or nickel based alloys.
