F55 Steel ( UNS S32706 / 1.4501 )

Short Introduction:

  • F55 Steel ( UNS S32706 / 1.4501 ) is among the most common super duplex grade in the market. UNS S32760 is a duplex stainless steel especially designed for service in aggressive chloride-containing environments and has additions of W and Cu compared to UNS S32750. It has very good resistance to localized corrosion and stress corrosion cracking in combination with high mechanical strength.

    Description

    F55 Steel ( UNS S32706 / 1.4501 )

    Material grades and equivalents:UNS S32706 / 1.4505 / F55 / S27603 / 022Cr25Ni7Mo4WCuN / X2CrNiMoWN25-7-4

    Special properties:

    The characteristic features of high strength and corrosion resistance exhibited by the dual microstructure (50% Austenite, 50% Ferrite) associated with Duplex Stainless Steels, are enhanced by a further addition of Chromium (to 25%), and also Tungsten and Copper.

    The alloy’s pitting and Crevice Corrosion resistance is better than Standard F51 duplex, The pitting index (PREN) is increased to 40 min from standard F51 Duplex value of 33 min.

    Thin sections (Tubulars) are capable of being cold worked to give yield strength of 105 KSI min.

    To optimise mechanical properties, avoid clinking, and to avoid deleterious intermetallics within the microstructure; special high temp forming and heat treatment control practices must be followed during processing.
