About duplex stainless steels

Duplex stainless steels are also very cost effective. The strength and corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel are achieved with a lower alloy content than equivalent austenitic grades. Duplex stainless steels are regularly used to produce parts for chloride-exposed applications in the desalination and petrochemical industry. They are also used in the building and construction industries for bridges, pressure vessels, and tie bars.

Precipitation hardening

Precipitation hardening stainless steels can have a range of crystalline structures, however, they all contain both chromium and nickel. Their common characteristics are corrosion resistance, ease of fabrication, and extremely high tensile strength with low-temperature heat treatment.

Maintenance of stainless surfaces is not difficult but should be undertaken regularly if the steel is exposed to bumps, scratches, salt, iron, or other chemicals. Outdoor site furniture should be attended to twice per year.

The way to clean stainless steel depends on the type of issue at hand. Different strategies are necessary for different types of marks. Our in-depth cleaning post describes steps for discoloration, rust, grease, fingerprints, cement, or limestone. It is good to deal with corrosion quickly. When caught early, WD-40 or another lubricant may be all that is necessary to remove rust.
