Duplex & Super Duplex Bright Bars Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter – Inox Steel India

Inox Steel India is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of Duplex & Super Duplex Stainless Steel Bright Bars in grades UNS S31803 (Duplex 2205) and UNS S32750 (Super Duplex 2507). We supply precision-finished bright bars to industries operating in high-corrosion, high-pressure, and chloride-rich environments across India, GCC, Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

Our duplex and super duplex bright bars combine the strength of ferritic stainless steel with the corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel, offering exceptional performance where conventional stainless steels fail. Using advanced cold drawing, peel turning, polishing, and centerless grinding, we deliver bright bars with tight tolerances, smooth surface finish, and consistent metallurgical structure.

What Are Duplex & Super Duplex Bright Bars & How Are They Made?

Duplex and Super Duplex Bright Bars are cold-finished stainless steel bars produced from nitrogen-alloyed duplex grades, designed to provide high yield strength, excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, and superior stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance.

Manufacturing Process Flow:

  1. Grade-Specific Billet Selection – S31803 (22% Cr) and S32750 (25% Cr)
  2. Hot Rolling / Forging – Primary bar formation
  3. Cold Drawing / Peeling – Improves dimensional accuracy and strength
  4. Solution Annealing – Ensures balanced austenite-ferrite microstructure
  5. Polishing / Centerless Grinding – Achieves superior surface finish and roundness
  6. Final Inspection & Testing – Chemical, mechanical, ferrite, and corrosion checks

This controlled process ensures bright bars with predictable mechanical properties, long service life, and reliability in aggressive service conditions.

Key Advantages of Duplex & Super Duplex Bright Bars

  • High yield strength (nearly twice that of austenitic stainless steels)
  • Excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and SCC
  • Superior performance in seawater and chloride environments
  • Tight dimensional tolerances (h8 / h9 / h10)
  • Reduced material thickness and weight due to higher strength
  • Full traceability with certified test reports

Grade Overview & Performance Characteristics

  • Duplex 2205 Bright Bars (UNS S31803)
    Balanced strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for marine, chemical, and pressure equipment applications.
  • Super Duplex 2507 Bright Bars (UNS S32750)
    Extremely high corrosion resistance and strength, ideal for offshore, subsea, and desalination environments.

Both grades are supplied with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certification, ensuring compliance with ASTM, EN, and NACE standards.
