The excellent corrosion resistance of super duplex steels makes them suitable for use in various chemical production and processing environments.
Applications include:
Valves, pumps, and fittings in corrosive chemical plants
Heat exchangers and reactors for the production of acids, alkalis, and other chemicals
Piping and tubing in fertilizer, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical facilities
Desalination and Water Treatment:
S32750 and S32760 round bars are commonly used in desalination plants and water treatment facilities due to their resistance to seawater and brine environments.
Examples include:
Reverse osmosis (RO) membranes and support structures
Valves, fittings, and other components in seawater intake and brine discharge systems
Equipment for thermal desalination processes
Marine and Offshore Applications:
The superior corrosion resistance of super duplex steels makes them well-suited for use in marine environments and offshore structures.
Applications include:
Shipbuilding (e.g., propeller shafts, propeller hubs, and other underwater components)
Offshore wind turbine foundations and support structures
Subsea pipelines and risers
Power Generation:
S32750 and S32760 round bars are used in power generation equipment, particularly in environments with high chloride or corrosive conditions.
Examples include:
Heat exchanger tubes and other components in nuclear power plants
Valves, pumps, and piping in geothermal power facilities
Cooling water systems in fossil-fuel and nuclear power plants
General Industrial Applications:
Super duplex stainless steel round bars are also used in various general industrial applications that require high corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
Examples include:
Pulp and paper industry equipment
Mining and mineral processing machinery
Automotive and aerospace components
The choice between S32750 and S32760 often depends on the specific requirements of the application, with S32760 offering slightly higher corrosion resistance in the most demanding environments.
