Why Choose MT.BOLTS

Reasons to Choose Duplex Stainless Steel Fasteners

Duplex stainless steel fasteners offer a unique combination of high mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for harsh environments. With twice the yield strength of austenitic stainless steels (e.g., 304/316) and outstanding resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion, they are a preferred choice for applications in marine, offshore, and chemical industries. Their dual-phase (austenite + ferrite) microstructure ensures better stress resistance, durability, and longer service life in aggressive environments. They also offer cost-efficiency by reducing the need for thicker materials or frequent replacements.

FAQ About Duplex Stainless Steel Fasteners and Bolts

Duplex stainless steel is a type of stainless steel with a dual-phase microstructure of austenite and ferrite. This gives it a superior combination of high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and better stress corrosion cracking resistance compared to standard austenitic stainless steels.

The most widely used grades include F51 (UNS S31803/S32205), F53 (UNS S32750), F55 (UNS S32760), F60 (UNS S32550), and F61 (UNS S32520).

Duplex fasteners offer approximately twice the yield strength of 316 stainless steel and significantly better resistance to chloride-induced corrosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion, especially in marine and chemical environments.

Yes. Especially super duplex grades like F53 and F55 are excellent for seawater applications due to their high PREN values (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number) and resistance to localized corrosion.

Yes, but special procedures must be followed to preserve the correct phase balance and prevent the formation of intermetallic phases. Post-weld heat treatment may be required depending on the grade and application.

Relevant standards include ASTM A182, ASTM A479, ASTM A276, and ASME B18.2.1 / B18.3 for dimensions. For pressure equipment, NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliance is often required.
