Basic Mechanical Properties of Duplex Stainless Steel Bars

Image
Alloys made of duplex stainless steel are extremely corrosion resistant and work hardenable. There is a mixture of austenite and ferrite phases in their microstructures. The result is that stainless steels made from duplex alloys have properties characteristic of both austenitic and ferritic materials. A combination of properties like these can lead to some compromises when compared with grades that are pure austenitic or pure ferritic. Stainless steels made from duplex types tend to be tougher than those made from ferritic types. It is possible for duplex stainless steels to possess a strength twice that of austenitic stainless steels in some cases. In spite of the fact that duplex stainless steel is considered to be resistant to stress corrosion cracking, it is not as resistant as ferritic stainless steel. While Duplex stainless steel is the least corrosion resistant of stainless steels, its corrosion resistance is greater than the most commonly used grades of stainless steel, 304 an...

Stainless Steel vs Galvanized: What’s the Best Type

Image
What is better, galvanized steel or stainless steel? Customers often ask this question. Is one more expensive than the other? When it comes to weather resistance, which is better? As a matter of fact, neither kind of steel is always the best choice for every situation. The following are some basic facts about galvanized steel and stainless steel that will help you make the best choice. Galvanized steel and stainless steel look similar, so they are often mistaken for one another. The two types of steel, however, differ greatly in terms of strength, weight, and composition. You need to be able to distinguish between each type of steel in order to find the appropriate application for it. What Is Galvanized Steel? It is coated with a thin layer of zinc to make it galvanized iron. Rust is prevented from forming on steel beneath the zinc coating. It prevents corrosion when exposed to the elements, making nuts, bolts, screws, and nails durable. When it comes to water, galvanized steel does we...

Difference Between Bright Bar And Round Bar ?

  What is a round bar? Industrial and commercial applications of round bar stock include long, cylindrical metal bars. Shafts are the most common application. Diameter is typically used to measure the product. There are a wide range of diameters available, ranging from 1/4 inch to 24 inch. There may be other sizes available. Different Grades Carbon Steel Grades C Mn Ck 45 0.42/0.50 0.50/0.80 Ck 55 0.52/0.60 0.60/0.90 Ck 60 0.57/0.65 0.60/0.90 SAE1006 0.08 max 0.25/0.40   Benefits of using Round Bar Corrosion resistance: All Round Bar products have a high corrosion resistance, enabling them to be used in a wide variety of environments. Additionally, it is resistant to fire and heat at high temperatures and pressures. Strongly alloyed grades can resist corrosion in most alkaline solutions, acids, and chloride bearing environments.  Manufacturing ease: With today’s advanced steel-making techniques, Round Bar can be forged, cut, machined, produced, and moulded as easily as tr...
