UNS S32550 Super Duplex

UNS S32550 is a premium super‑duplex stainless steel designed for ultra‑aggressive environments. It combines very high strength with exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice and stress‑corrosion cracking in chloride‑bearing and sulphide‑rich conditions.

Key Features

This alloy offers outstanding corrosion resistance, thanks to elevated chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen content, along with a duplex microstructure that delivers high yield strength and excellent toughness in demanding applications.

Typical Applications
  • Offshore oil & gas risers, manifolds and subsea equipment
  • Chemical processing plants, FGD units and seawater systems
  • Desalination plants and marine structural components
  • Pressure vessels and heat exchangers in chlorinated/sulphide environments
  • High‑strength structural parts exposed to extreme corrosion and mechanical loads
Forms of Supply

Supplied in solution‑annealed condition as plates, sheets, bars, pipe and forgings. Cut‑to‑size, machined and finish‑treated options are available for the UAE & Gulf region, with full certification and traceability.

Technical Specifications

Specifications
  • Carbon (C): ≤ 0.030% – limits carbide precipitation and maintains corrosion resistance.
  • Silicon (Si): ≤ 0.80% – assists de‑oxidation and structural stability.
  • Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.20% – supports toughness.
  • Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.035% – improves cleanliness and ductility.
  • Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.020% – maintains high corrosion resistance and weldability.
  • Chromium (Cr): 24.0‑26.0% – provides superior corrosion resistance and strength.
  • Nickel (Ni): 6.0‑8.0% – enhances toughness and balanced microstructure.
  • Molybdenum (Mo): 3.0‑5.0% – significantly enhances pitting and crevice corrosion resistance.
  • Nitrogen (N): 0.24‑0.32% – boosts strength and corrosion performance.
  • Iron (Fe): Balance – main matrix element.
Certifications
  • Material is supplied with standard Mill Test Certificates (MTC) covering chemical composition and mechanical properties.
  • EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 inspection certificates or equivalent third‑party verification available upon request.
  • Conformity to international standards such as ASTM A240 / ASME SA240 for plates/ sheets or ASTM A182 / SA‑182 for bar/ forgings; subject to product form and customer requirement.
  • Project‑specific certifications, traceability, NDT witness testing or third‑party reports can be arranged — please contact our sales team to specify required certification package.
