Alloy 32760 (Plate) (UNS S32760)
Description:
Alloy 32760 is a super duplex stainless steel supplied in the hot worked and solution annealed condition. As a super duplex stainless steel, it combines the desirable aspects of both austenitic and ferritic grades. The higher chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen contents result in a Pitting Resistance Equivalent number (PREN) of >40, providing pitting and crevice corrosion resistance superior to austenitic and duplex stainless steels in almost all corrosive media, and a Critical Pitting Temperature exceeding 50°C nb.versions of the PREN formula also include W as a positive influence on overall pitting resistance.
It provides higher strength than both austenitic and 22% Cr duplex stainless steels, and is listed in NACE MR 0175 for sour service and ASME for pressure vessel applications.
Key Features:
1.Excellent corrosion resistance in a wide variety of corrosive chemicals
2.Pitting Resistance Equivalent number (PREN) of >40
3.Outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in seawater and other chloride containing environments
4.Critical Pitting Temperature exceeding 50°C
5.High strength compared to austenitic and 22%Cr duplex stainless steels
6.Excellent ductility and impact strength at both ambient and sub-zero temperatures
7.High resistance to abrasion, erosion and cavitation erosion
8.Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride containing environments
9.Listed in NACE MR 0175 for sour service
10.ASME Approval for Pressure Vessel application
