Duplex Steel UNS S31803 Welded Tubes Manufacturer in India

What Are Duplex Steel UNS S31803 Welded Tubes?

Duplex Steel UNS S31803 Welded Tubes are tubular products manufactured from duplex stainless steel with a two-phase microstructure of austenitic and ferritic stainless steel. UNS S31803 is a widely used duplex grade offering a combination of high mechanical strength, excellent corrosion resistance, good toughness and resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking.

Duplex Steel UNS S31803 Welded Tubes are valued for their high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, good resistance to stress corrosion cracking and reliable performance in demanding environments. The balanced austenitic-ferritic structure provides properties that make the grade suitable for applications where both strength and corrosion resistance are required.

These welded tubes are used in oil and gas equipment, petrochemical plants, chemical processing systems, marine applications, desalination plants, heat exchangers, power generation and wastewater treatment equipment. Tube dimensions, wall thickness, weld condition, finish and testing requirements are selected according to the application and applicable standards.
