UNS S32760 (1.4501 / F55)

Super Duplex Stainless Steel


UNS S32760 Super Duplex Stainless Steel

Material to UNS S32760 is described as a super duplex stainless steel with a microstructure of 50:50 austenite and ferrite.



Good Ductility

The steel combines high mechanical strength (typically up to 600 MPa yield strength) and good ductility with outstanding corrosion resistance to marine environments and a wide, diverse range of Oil & Gas production environments. The alloy is supplied with a PREN(Pitting Resistance Equivalent) at >=40.0 which guarantees high resistance to pitting corrosion. In addition, the steel offers high resistance to crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Ambient and sub-zero (down to minus 50°C) notch ductility is good. These attributes mean that this super duplex steel can be used successfully as an alternative to 300 series stainless steel (such as type 316), standard 22% Cr duplex steel and precipitation hardening stainless steels. Where appropriate the alloy can be considered in lieu of more costly Grade 5 titanium or nickel-based alloys.



Machinability & Welding

The machining and welding of this grade of super duplex stainless steel presents no particular problems. Guidance notes are available upon request.



Typical Applications

Commercial applications for this engineering material include:

  • Pumps, valves, chokes
  • Pipework/flanges
  • Connectors
  • Manifolds
  • Oil & gas components

We stock UNS S32760 in flats, round bar, plate, sheet, round tube and hollow bar.
