Duplex stainless steel in the pulp and paper industry

Abstract

States that duplex (austenitic/ferritic) stainless steels offer properties of interest and a cost‐effective material selection solution for plant and equipment in the pulp and paper industry. Reviews characteristics of duplex steels leading to successful long‐term applications of 22 Cr duplex and a copper containing 25 Cr super duplex stainless steel. Concludes that, applied correctly, two‐phase stainless steels can provide long‐term reliable maintenance‐free service in many pulp and paper plant environments.
