Stainless Steel Alloy 2304, Duplex 2304

Duplex 2304, often known as Alloy 2304, is a duplex stainless steel without molybdenum. Its structure is a balance of ferritic and austenitic, and it is frequently used as a substitute for Alloys 304L and 316L. Other characteristics of Duplex 2304 stainless steel include:

Outstanding corrosion resistance

Yield strength (twice that of 304L/316L)

Suitable for applications covering -50ºC/+300ºC temperature range

Resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion

Improved machinability and weldability

Due to these excellent characteristics, Duplex 2304 is utilized in a multitude of applications across numerous sectors. These consist of:

Pulp and paper industry (pipes, storage tanks)

Food industry

Pressure vessels

Mining

Exposure to caustic solutions and organic acids

Water treatment

Construction and architecture

For a stainless steel to be designated Duplex 2304, it must include the following components:

Fe Balanced

Cr 21.5-24.5%

Ni 3.0-3.5%

Mn 2.5% max

Cu .05%-2.0%

N .05-2.0%

Si 1% max

All of Sino Special Metal's Duplex 2304 shapes and sizes conform to the foremost industry standards, including ASTM, ASME, EURONORM, and DIN.
