S32750 Product Description

Overview

S32750 is a super duplex stainless steel with a microstructure of roughly equal ferrite and austenite. This datasheet presents the material within the American standard system.

With about 25% chromium, 7% nickel, 4% molybdenum and a high nitrogen addition (0.24-0.32%), S32750 has a pitting-resistance equivalent number (PREN) above 40, giving outstanding resistance to chloride pitting, crevice corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking, with a critical pitting temperature well above that of standard duplex 2205. It offers very high mechanical strength (roughly twice the yield of austenitic grades) and good weldability.

Typical applications include offshore oil-and-gas equipment, subsea pipelines, risers and manifolds, seawater systems, desalination plant, chemical-process equipment and high-strength corrosion-resistant components.

1. Physical Properties

2. Chemical Composition (wt %)

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Iron Fe Balance Base element
Chromium Cr 24.0 26.0 Ferrite former; corrosion resistance
Nickel Ni 6.0 8.0 Austenite former; phase balance
Molybdenum Mo 3.0 5.0 Pitting + crevice resistance

Confirm against the mill test report.

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Chloride pitting Outstanding PREN >40; CPT > 50 °C
Crevice corrosion Outstanding Among the best duplex grades
Chloride SCC Excellent High Cr + Mo + N
Seawater Excellent Warm chlorinated seawater
General (oxidizing) Excellent High chromium
Sulphide / sour Good Listed in NACE MR0175

Far higher localized-corrosion resistance than 2205, approaching 6Mo super-austenitics.

5. Heat Treatment

Not hardenable by heat treatment; properties are set by solution annealing and phase balance.

Solution Anneal approximately 1040-1120 °C, followed by rapid water quench to retain the balanced ferrite-austenite structure and avoid embrittling intermetallic phases. Rapid cooling is critical owing to the high alloy content. Avoid prolonged exposure in the 300-1000 °C range (sigma-phase / 475 °C embrittlement).

6. Weldability and Joining

Weldable by common fusion methods; use a matching or over-alloyed super-duplex (25 9 4-type) filler and control heat input to maintain phase balance.

Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Good Super-duplex (25 9 4 type) or Ni-base
GMAW / MIG Good Super-duplex filler
SMAW / stick Good Matching super-duplex electrode

No preheat; control interpass temperature (typically <=150 °C) and heat input; balanced weld retains corrosion resistance and toughness.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Machinability Difficult; high strength + work-hardening; rigid setup, carbide tools, low speeds
Work hardening High rate; positive feeds, avoid dwelling
Coolant Ample flood coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Hot forming ~1230-1000 °C; solution anneal + quench afterward
Cold forming Higher forces than 2205 (very high strength)

8. Applications

Industry Typical Components Key Requirements
Oil & gas Subsea pipelines, risers, manifolds Pitting + sour-service resistance
Marine / seawater Seawater systems, pumps Warm chloride resistance
Desalination RO plant, heat exchangers Hot chloride resistance
Chemical processing Vessels, piping Localized-corrosion resistance
