Welding Consumables for Duplex Stainless
What is Duplex Stainless ?
- With microstructure consisting virtually 50% austenite phase and 50% ferritic phase, duplex stainless possesses

- excellent ductility, notch toughness, and resistance to stress corrosion cracking
- -is classified into standard, lean, and super duplex.
