Our NORSOK-approved Super Duplex alloy 2507 tubes (UNS 32750) are custom-engineered for the most aggressive oil and gas and chemical process applications. Sizes
Our tubing sizes typical for Super Duplex range from 3.18 mm (0.125in) to 31.75mm (1.25in) outer diameter OD in seamless form. Advantages NORSOK-approval Made to order in specialist non-standard sizes Superior strength and corrosion resistance Significantly extended product life Short lead times and small batch sizes Greater corrosion resistance than standard duplex grades
Super Duplex stainless like S32750, is a mixed microstructure of austenite and ferrite (50/50) which has improved strength over ferritic and austenitic steel grades. The main difference is that Super Duplex has a higher molybdenum and chromium content which gives the material greater corrosion resistance than standard duplex grades. Applications Offshore platforms Fire-fighting systems Injection & ballast water systems Heat exchangers
Our surface coating powders are manufactured to have precise thermal spraying characteristics to enhance the performance of a workpiece.
Advantages include improved hardness and machinability, corrosion resistance, wear and heat resistance to extend the life and offer total component cost savings.
