Full Description

1.1This specification covers a group of cast duplex stainless steels (austenitic/ferritic).

1.2The duplex stainless steel alloys offer a combination of enhanced mechanical properties and corrosion resistance when properly balanced in composition and properly heat treated. Ferrite levels are not specified, but these alloys will develop a range of approximately 30 to 60% ferrite with the balance austenite. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to determine which grade shall be furnished depending on design and service conditions, mechanical properties, and corrosion-resistant characteristics.

Note 1-Because of the possibility of precipitation of embrittling phases, the grades included in this specification are not recommended for service at temperatures above 600F [315C].

1.3The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.3.1Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets.
