Chromium Nitride in Duplex Stainless Steels

Because of the use of nitrogen as an alloying element in these stainless steels, chromium nitrides (CrN) may be present on ?/? grain boundaries, on ?/? boundaries, and within the ? grains. If formed in large quantities and under conditions in which the chromium-depleted areas do not have time to repair themselves during annealing, the presence of CrN may adversely affect corrosion resistance.

Sandvik super-duplex stainless steel selected for prototype boat

2016-09-07 17:54]]> Sandvik Materials Technology, Sweden, announces that its Sandvik SAF 2507 high-strength super-duplex stainless steel has been selected for Project P16 Prototype, an innovative 56-foot prototype boat being built by Swedish Steel Yacht AB. The aim of the project is to evaluate an entirely new technology for constructing more efficient, stronger, and maintenance-free vessels. […]
