Super Duplex Steel Foil

Super Duplex Steel Foil is a thin and very strong metal foil that is produced by combining austenitic and ferritic stainless steels. Super Duplex Steel is a well-known material for its outstanding strength, corrosion resistance, and high performance which is used in the areas where tough materials are needed to survive in the severe conditions. This is foil form of this alloy is thin and light in weight but it has the mechanical characteristics of the thicker Super Duplex materials and it is suitable for particular uses in industries such as the oil and gas industry, marine, chemical processing, and power generation industries. With high chromium and molybdenum content, the material has high corrosion, stress cracking, and pitting resistance.

Advantages of Super Duplex Steel Foil

These flexible Super Duplex Steel Foils offer numerous benefits for industrial applications.  

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Super Duplex Steel foil is highly resistant to various corrosive atmospheres especially in chloride solution and in acidic media and is immune to pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.
• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Nonetheless, Super Duplex Steel foil is very thin and still it has excellent mechanical properties which enable it to carry loads and stresses in many applications.
• Cost-Effective: Its wear and tear and service life are long hence it does not require frequent replacement and this cuts on the maintenance and operating costs.
• Excellent Temperature Tolerance: Super Duplex Steel foil is very resistant to heat and cold, making it useful in high and low temperatures.
• Wear Resistance: The material’s durability also encompasses mechanical wear, abrasion, and fatigue, which makes the material suitable for various applications.
• Weldability: Super Duplex Steel foil is quite easy to weld and fabricate, and it can be used in various designs and assembling procedures.
• Lightweight and Flexible: The foil is very thin and light and this makes it easy to handle and install while at the same time being strong and sturdy.

Super Duplex Steel Foils offer several advantages that make them suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Common Applications of Super Duplex Steel Foil

Due to its excellent features, Super Duplex Steel Foils are preferred for various industrial applications.

• Oil and Gas Industry: Applied in the offshore drilling rigs, pipelines and refineries where the equipment is exposed to highly corrosive substances and high pressure.
• Marine Engineering: Used in ship construction, underwater constructions, and marine equipment where corrosion by saltwater and other adverse environmental conditions are inevitable.
• Chemical Processing: Used in reactors, heat exchangers and storage tanks used in handling highly acidic and corrosive products to enhance the durability and efficiency of the equipment.
• Desalination Plants: Used in desalination equipment and facilities where seawater is treated, where the material’s chloride corrosion is essential.
• Power Generation: In use in power plant industries for heat exchangers, turbines, and boilers where high temperatures and corrosive environments are likely to be encountered.
• Automotive and Aerospace Industries: Used in specific parts where lightweight material is needed, which can bear high mechanical load and is resistant to corrosion.
• Pharmaceutical and Food Processing: Applied in hygienic applications for the production of equipment which comes into contact with food and chemicals because of its non-oxidising, non-staining, and non-chemical attack properties.

Super Duplex Steel Foils are applied across various industries due to their valuable features, which make them versatile.
