1.4462 Duplex

1.4462 is a duplex stainless steel (approx. “2205”) that combines the strength of ferritic steels with the corrosion resistance of austenitic grades. It offers high yield strength, excellent resistance to pitting, crevice and stress-corrosion cracking, making it ideal for demanding environments.

Key Features

This grade features nearly double the strength of common austenitic stainless steels, a duplex microstructure (roughly 50% austenite + 50% ferrite) that enhances mechanical and corrosion performance, and good weldability under appropriate controls

Typical Applications
  • Offshore and marine structural components, risers and platforms
  • Chemical processing equipment, storage tanks and piping
  • Pressure vessels and heat exchangers in chloride-rich or aggressive environments
  • Oil & gas production and transport systems where strength and corrosion resistance combine
Forms of Supply

Available as plates, sheets, bars, pipes and fittings in solution-annealed condition, supplied with appropriate certifications for duplex grades. Cut-to-size options and custom lengths are available for UAE & Gulf region.

Technical Specifications

Specifications
  • C (Carbon): ≤ 0.03% – controls carbide formation and maintains toughness.
  • Si (Silicon): ≤ 1.00% – supports deoxidation and increases strength.
  • Mn (Manganese): ≤ 2.00% – improves ductility.
  • P (Phosphorus): ≤ 0.035% – reduces brittleness.
  • S (Sulfur): ≤ 0.015% – maintains weldability and toughness.
  • Cr (Chromium): 21.0–23.0% – provides corrosion resistance and high strength.
  • Mo (Molybdenum): 2.50–3.50% – boosts pitting resistance and strength.
  • Ni (Nickel): 4.50–6.50% – enhances toughness and austenite content.
  • N (Nitrogen): 0.10–0.22% – improves strength and corrosion resistance.
  • Fe (Iron): Balance – main matrix element.
Certification
  • Material supplied with standard Mill Test Certificates on request (traceable chemical and mechanical test data).
  • Available with EN10204 3.1 / 3.2 inspection certificates or equivalent third-party inspection upon request.
  • Manufacturing and testing conform to recognised industry standards; product can be supplied with additional certification for project requirements (e.g., PED, ABS, DNV) when requested.
  • Contact our sales team to confirm specific certificates, test reports, or third-party witness requirements for your order.
