Heat Exchanger: Duplex Stainless Steel

Duplex stainless steel stands out as an ideal material for heat exchangers due to its combination of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity. These properties translate into longer-lasting, more efficient, and cost-effective heat exchangers, making duplex stainless steel a material of choice for many industrial applications.

• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: High resistance to various corrosive environments, including chlorides and sulfides.
• Prevention of Stress Corrosion Cracking: Highly resistant to stress corrosion cracking, a common problem in chloride-containing environments.

• Anti Pitting and Crevice Corrosion: Superior resistance compared to 300 series stainless steels.
• Versatility: Suitable for various industries, including chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation, and desalination plants, where highly corrosive environments are common.

• High Strength: Duplex stainless steels offer roughly twice the yield strength of austenitic stainless steels, which allows for thinner-walled construction in heat exchangers, saving material costs and weight.
• Thermal Conductivity: Better thermal conductivity than austenitic stainless steels, enhancing its efficiency in heat transfer applications.
