What is Duplex Steel F51 and why is it suitable for bars and shafts?
Duplex Steel F51 also known as UNS S31803 or 1.4462 is a fine grained duplex stainless steel with unique properties that makes it suitable for manufacturing of bars and shafts. This alloy contains an optimal combination of austenite and ferrite phases that provides resistance against general corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, strength and toughness making it suitable for applications within marine, chemical processing and oil and gas industries.
Duplex Steel F51 is very resistant to heavy loads and stress, thus it is used in shafts and bars where loads and stresses are very high. Moreover, Duplex Steel F51 has good weldability and machinability to facilitate fabrication and assembly operations. Due to very good corrosion resistance and strength of the material as well as its versatility, it is a great solution when seeking for resistant materials such as bars or shafts in various industries.

To what extent is Duplex Steel F51 superior or inferior to other stainless steel alloys in terms of corrosion resistance?
UNS S31803 or 1.4462 known as Duplex Steel F51 has a higher corrosion resistance than other stainless steel materials. This is due to its microstructure that consists of roughly equal proportions of the austenite and ferrite phases; The best resistance of Duplex Steel F51 is against general corrosion as well as the localized types of corrosion like pitting and crevice corrosion which is common in chloride containing environments such as marine, chemical and petrochemical sectors.
Duplex Steel F51 is ideal for use in areas such as coastal and offshore, which require high levels of durability. Compared to other austenitic stainless steels, Duplex Steel F51 has enhanced strength, toughness and fatigue resistance, intergranular corrosion resistance, higher mechanical strength and versatility which make the Duplex Steel F51 a preferred choice for bars and shafts.
