wo very successful conferences were held on Duplex Stainless Steels in 1991 and
1994. This book takes keynote papers from each, and develops and expands them to
bring the topics right up to date. New material will cover grades, specifications and
standards.
Contents: Developments, grades and specifications; Alloy design; Microstructure;
Forming and machining; Physical and mechanical properties; Corrosion; Stress
corrosion cracking; Welding metallurgy; Welding processes; Weld properties;
Non-destructive testing of welds; Applications; Service experience.
This is the first reference book published on this engineering material. The World Duplex Stainless Steel market is estimated to be 500,000 tons
annually or 10% of the Fe:CR:Ni stainless steel market. Due to its attractive combination of properties, including high strength and excellent
resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, some have predicted that its market share will grow to 50% by 2010. In any case, duplex
stainless steels are established as a viable alternative to other types of stainless steels and nickel-based alloys. This is the very latest information
available including the most recent grades, standards and specifications plus famous failures and common problems. The book is based on papers
from two conferences held on duplex stainless steels, with each contributor updating the contents.
