FAQ
UNS S32101 and UNS S32304 duplex stainless steels offer excellent corrosion resistance and higher strength than most conventional austenitic or ferritic stainless steels. These properties make them ideal for applications requiring durability and longevity in harsh or aggressive environments. Additionally, their lean duplex nature ensures cost-effectiveness by reducing the need for high-cost alloying elements like nickel and molybdenum.
UNS S32304 generally offers slightly better corrosion resistance compared to UNS S32101, particularly in environments prone to stress corrosion cracking and pitting. Both grades perform exceptionally well against general corrosion, but UNS S32304’s higher chromium and molybdenum content provides an edge in more challenging conditions.
Yes, both UNS S32101 and UNS S32304 are suitable for structural applications due to their high strength and good ductility. They are often used in structures that require significant load-bearing capacity such as bridges, storage tanks, and high-rise building frameworks. Their excellent weight-to-strength ratio also allows for designs that utilize lighter materials without compromising structural integrity.
