We are stockists of 31803 duplex alloys in sheet, plate, and bar
directly distributed globally from our UK stockholding warehouse,
combined with our large capacity cutting capabilities we can meet
requirements for many industries.
The following are the properties of 31803:
Stainless ferritic-austenitic Cr-Ni-Mo steel with nitrogen
addition.
High corrosion resistance, especially against stress corrosion
cracking in solutions containing chloride.
Good strength properties.
Resistant to intergranular corrosion in the temperature range up
to 300°C.
Heat treatment subsequent to welding not necessary.
Surface condition for optimum corrosion resistance: pickled, heat
treated free from scale or machined.
Application
Components in the chemical industry, e.g. separator and heat
exchanger parts, from the paper industry, oil and gas production,
compressor parts, seawater desalination plants.

Welding
Good weldability. Welding is possible with all processes usual for
stainless steels. We recommend depending on applications electric
arc welding with covered electrodes, inert gas welding or
SA-welding. Preheating and heat treatment after welding is not
necessary. For high stressed heavy walled constructions the limited
preheat temperature of 150°C maximum is recommendable. Maximum
interpass temperature 150°C. Keep heat input low especially for
small wall thicknesses. The TIG-process should be given reference
for root welding.
