Duplex Super Duplex Welded Tubes

Duplex & Super Duplex Welded Tubes Manufacturer & Exporter β€” INOX STEEL INDIA

INOX STEEL INDIA is one of India’s most trusted suppliers of Duplex (S31803/S32205) and Super Duplex (S32750/S32760) Welded Tubes, engineered for environments where chlorides, pressure, temperature and corrosive chemicals can destroy standard stainless steel.

Designed for offshore structures, desalination plants, refineries, chemical reactors, seawater systems and high-pressure heat exchangers, our Duplex & Super Duplex welded tubes offer superior strength, outstanding chloride resistance and long-term stability.

All tubes are manufactured, welded, solution annealed, pickled, tested and certified as per ASTM A789 / ASTM A790.

What Are Duplex & Super Duplex Welded Tubes?

Duplex stainless steels are 50% ferrite + 50% austenite, giving them:

  • 2x strength of stainless steel
  • Excellent chloride pitting & crevice corrosion resistance
  • High stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance
  • Extreme durability in seawater and aggressive chemical environments

Super Duplex grades (S32750 / S32760) offer even higher chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen levels β€” delivering PREN > 40–45, ideal for the most severe corrosive conditions.

These welded tubes undergo TIG / Plasma / Laser welding, bead control, full solution annealing, pickling & passivation, 100% PMI and NDT (EC/UT/PT/RT) to ensure corrosion stability and weld soundness.

How Duplex & Super Duplex Welded Tubes Are Manufactured

  1. Plate / strip selection with controlled ferrite content
  2. Precision forming with consistent OD/WT
  3. TIG / Plasma / Laser welding using ER2209 / ER2594 / ER2553
  4. Solution annealing at 1020–1120Β°C with rapid cooling
  5. Pickling & passivation
  6. PMI, Eddy Current, Hydro / UT / RT testing
  7. Ferrite number evaluation
