FAQs of Duplex Steel Tube:
Q: How do Duplex Steel Tubes provide benefits in high-pressure and corrosive environments?
A: Duplex Steel Tubes offer excellent corrosion resistance and high-pressure ratings due to their unique metallurgical structure and polished or pickled surfaces. Their high mechanical strength, with minimum tensile strength of 620 MPa, makes them ideal for environments found in oil & gas, chemical plants, and marine industries.
Q: What is the typical process for manufacturing Duplex Steel Tubes?
A: Duplex Steel Tubes are manufactured either seamlessly or by welding. They are cold rolled or cold drawn to achieve precise dimensions and properties. After forming, they undergo solution annealing for optimal mechanical and corrosion-resistant characteristics, followed by surface treatment like polishing or pickling.
Q: When should I use a Duplex Steel Tube over conventional stainless steel?
A: Duplex Steel Tubes are recommended when both high mechanical strength and superior corrosion resistance are required, especially under high pressure or in aggressive environments such as offshore, petrochemical, and marine applications. Their dual-phase structure offers advantages over conventional austenitic stainless steels.
Q: Where can Duplex Steel Tubes be supplied and in what packaging?
A: These tubes are available in ready stock from manufacturers and suppliers in India, with efficient global export capability. They are packed in standard export packaging to ensure the materials integrity during transportation and handling.
Q: What range of sizes and grades are available for Duplex Steel Tubes?
A: Duplex Steel Tubes are available in outer diameters ranging from 6 mm to 630 mm, thicknesses between 0.5 mm to 20 mm, and lengths up to 12,000 mm. Offered grades include UNS S31803, S32205, 2205, and 2507, catering to varying project specifications and standards.
Q: How does the solution annealing process enhance Duplex Steel Tube performance?
A: Solution annealing refines the microstructure of Duplex Steel Tubes, enhancing both their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This heat treatment ensures the tubes exhibit uniform strength, ductility, and long-term performance in challenging operational settings.
Q: What are the typical end finishes provided for Duplex Steel Tubes?
A: Depending on application requirements, Duplex Steel Tubes are available with plain, beveled, or threaded ends, ensuring compatibility with various connection systems common in oil & gas, power, and marine installations.
