Duplex Steel Welded Tubes Manufacturer in India
What Are Duplex Steel Welded Tubes?
Duplex Steel Welded Tubes are tubular products manufactured by forming and longitudinally welding duplex stainless steel strips or sheets, combining the strength of ferritic stainless steel with the corrosion resistance and toughness of austenitic stainless steel. Common duplex grades include UNS S31803 and UNS S32205, which are widely used for demanding industrial applications.
Duplex Steel Welded Tubes are known for their high mechanical strength, excellent resistance to chloride-induced corrosion, good resistance to stress corrosion cracking, toughness and durability. Their combination of strength and corrosion resistance can provide reliable performance in environments where conventional stainless steel grades may not be sufficient.
These tubes are used in oil and gas equipment, petrochemical plants, chemical processing, marine systems, desalination plants, heat exchangers, power generation and wastewater treatment systems. The grade, tube dimensions, wall thickness, weld condition and finish are selected according to the application, operating conditions and applicable standards.
Kamal Steels is a reliable Duplex Steel Welded Tubes Manufacturer and Stockist in India, supplying welded tubes in different duplex grades, sizes, wall thicknesses, lengths and finishes according to customer and project requirements. We also cater to international requirements with suitable export packaging and documentation.
