FAQs About Duplex Stainless Steel Casting
Get the answers you need about duplex stainless steel casting here.
How to choose the right duplex stainless steel grade?
Selecting the appropriate duplex stainless steel grade depends on factors such as corrosion environment, temperature, strength, and cost. Assess corrosion resistance, weldability, and cost-effectiveness based on specific applications.
Can duplex stainless steel castings replace austenitic or ferritic stainless steel?
Duplex stainless steel castings can replace austenitic or ferritic stainless steel in many applications. They provide higher strength and better resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, though their formability and weldability may be slightly lower than austenitic stainless steel. In environments prone to pitting and stress corrosion cracking, duplex stainless steel is an excellent alternative.
Can BESSER provide customized stainless steel castings?
Yes, we specialize in providing custom stainless steel castings, tailored to meet your specific design and material requirements.
Can you produce small batch orders?
Yes, we can handle both large-scale and small-batch production, ensuring flexibility in meeting the needs of different clients. We specialize in producing high-quality custom parts, whether in small quantities or for large-volume orders.
Do you offer post-casting services?
Yes, BESSER provides additional post-casting services, including CNC machining, surface treatments (like polishing, electroplating, and coating), and heat treatment, to meet specific client requirements.
