The corrosion resistance of 2304 alloy is similar to that of 316L.
In addition, its mechanical properties, namely yield strength, are twice that of the 304L/316L austenite grade.
This feature allows designers to reduce the weight of products, especially pressure vessels, when designing products.
This alloy is particularly suited to the temperature range of -50°C /+300°C (-58°F/572°F).
It can also be used at lower temperatures under strict restrictions (especially for welded structures).
Compared with 304 and 316 austenite, 2304 alloy has stronger stress corrosion resistance due to its dual phase microstructure, lower nickel content and higher chromium content.
Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS for short) refers to stainless steel with about 50% of ferrite and 50% of austenite, and generally less than 30% of the content of the less phase. In the case of low C content, the Cr content is 18%~28%, and the Ni content is 3%~10%. Some steels also contain alloying elements such as Mo, Cu, Nb, Ti, and N. Since its birth in the United States in the 1940s, duplex stainless steel has developed into the third generation. Its main feature is that the yield strength can reach 400-550MPa, which is twice that of ordinary stainless steel, so it can save materials and reduce equipment manufacturing costs. In terms of anti-corrosion, especially under the conditions of harsh medium environment (such as seawater, high chloride ion content), the anti-pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion and corrosion fatigue properties of duplex stainless steel are obviously better than ordinary austenite Stainless steel, comparable to high alloyed austenitic stainless steels.
