In this episode, Dr. Jim Fritz, industry veteran and current consultant for the Nickel Institute, sits down with co-hosts Heather Allain and Marc Cook to discuss the capabilities and limitations of duplex stainless steels. The three chat about the primary advantages of duplex stainless steel, including cost and resistance to stress corrosion cracking; primary disadvantages, including reduced formability; welding and managing the quality process; controlling the austenite-ferrite balance of duplex; and the upper and lower temperature limits for duplex stainless steels.   Show notes For more information about MTI’s Global Solutions Symposium, visit https://www.mti-global.org/mtisymposium/home   Resources Available to Members: MTI's Duplex Stainless Steel Atlas of Microstructures MTI's Guidelines for Measuring the Amount of Ferrite in Duplex Stainless Steels MTI's Fabrication of 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel REACs in Refinery Hydroprocessing Units   Resources Available to Nonmembers: MTI's Guidelines for Measuring the Amount of Ferrite in Duplex Stainless Steels MTI's Fabrication of 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel REACs in Refinery Hydroprocessing Units   Corrosion Chronicles is produced by Association Briefings.
