West
York Steel are leading suppliers of a number
of specialist steel
specifications for industrial construction.
Duplex stainless steel is one of our most requested
specialist steel specifications.
Duplex stainless steel
has a unique finish complying to national
standards making it the perfect material for
many industrial applications. Made by combining
specially prepared composites, duplex stainless
steel combines austenitic ferritic chromium, nickel
and molybdenum to make specialised steel renowned
for its corrosion resistant properties.
Duplex
stainless steel has many commercial uses due
to its high density and resilience. Common uses
for duplex stainless steel include hot water tanks,
pressure vessels and paper manufacture. Duplex
stainless steel is also often used in chemical
processing plants. In particular duplex stainless
steel is often used for the transportation and
storage off potentially volatile chemicals.
Due to its increased strength and durability, duplex stainless steel is often used in marine environments. The high density finish means that duplex stainless steel will corrode at a decelerated rate compared to other materials, meaning less maintenance will be required to keep exposed metal surfaces protected from salt water and excessive winds at sea.
For these reasons, duplex stainless steel is often used at many offshore oil rigs and oil refineries. The advantages offered by duplex stainless steel make it the ideal material to use in oil and gas exploration and refinery at offshore rigs.
