SS 2507

Mega Mex supplies super duplex stainless steels in plate, sheet, bar, pipe, pipe fittings,
flanges, tube and weld wire. Duplex Stainless Steels, also referred to as austenitic-
ferritic stainless steels, are a family of grades having around equal proportions of
austenite and ferrite.
These steels have a duplex microstructure which contributes to their high strength and
high resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Duplex steels offer high resistance to
uniform and local corrosion because of their high content of nitrogen, chromium and
molybdenum. Duplex stainless steels have good weldability.
There are three groups of duplex stainless steels that include the following:
Lean Duplex
Standard Duplex
Super Duplex.
The most widely used of the duplex grades is duplex 2205. However, the super duplex
steels like 2507 are excellent for servicing severe corrosive environments, such as
offshore and marine applications. Lean duplex 2101 is available as an economic
alternative to 300 series stainless steels.
S32760 Super Duplex Stainless Steel
S32760 super duplex stainless steel is developed to be used in aggressive environments.
Properties of S32760 include toughness, high strength, corrosion resistance in a large
number of organic and inorganic acids. Finally it features high resistance to strong alkalis
and resists corrosion in a number of non-oxidizing acids.
While involving extended exposure to temperatures more than 572F use of S32760 is
not recommended. The chemical composition of S32750 and S32760 are similar;
however, the latter contains slightly more copper and tungsten. The copper content
(min. 0.5, max 1.0) permits excellent resistance to corrosion in many non-oxidizing and
mineral acids like hydrochloric and sulfuric acid.
S32750 or Duplex 2507
Duplex 2507 is a super duplex stainless steel developed for applications that demand
high strength and corrosion resistance. Alloy 2507 has 25% chromium, 4%
molybdenum, and 7% nickel. This high molybdenum, chromium and nitrogen content
causes high resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion attack and the duplex
structure provides 2507 with exceptional resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking.
Using Duplex 2507 must be restricted to applications below 600 F (316 C). Extended
elevated temperature exposure can reduce both the toughness and corrosion resistance
of alloy 2507.
Duplex 2507 has good mechanical properties. Often a light gauge of 2507 material can
be used to achieve the same design strength of a thicker nickel alloy. The resulting
weight savings can considerably reduce the overall cost of fabrication.
