By Callum 3RE60 Duplex Stainless Steel Characteristics
3RE60 is a special duplex stainless steel with chloride ion stress corrosion resistance by adding 0.05% – 0.10% nitrogen on the basis of duplex stainless steel.
It has high corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. It has good welding performance and physical properties. It has high stress corrosion cracking ability in the environment containing CI.
Its corrosion resistance is equivalent to that of 316L
This duplex stainless steel is often used in refineries, chemical plants and other pulping industries.

Our duplex stainless steel grades
What is duplex stainless steel ?
Duplex stainless steel is a kind of stainless steel composed of ferrite and austenite. The ferrite content is about 50%, and the austenite content is about 50%. This kind of steel has the characteristics of both austenitic stainless steel and ferritic stainless steel.
