ASTM A790 S32750 (2507) Duplex Stainless Seamless Steel Pipe
ASTM A790 S32750, also known as Super Duplex 2507 or UNS S32750 (Werkstoff Nr. 1.4410, F53), is a super duplex (austenitic-ferritic) stainless steel with a balanced dual-phase microstructure (approximately 50% austenite and 50% ferrite). This unique microstructure combines the best properties of both austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, delivering an exceptional balance of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
Compared to standard duplex grades such as S31803 (2205), Super Duplex 2507 features higher chromium (24.0-26.0%), molybdenum (3.0-5.0%), and nitrogen content, enabling outstanding performance in aggressive, chloride-rich environments such as seawater, brine, and chemical processing fluids. The material also offers a high Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREn) typically exceeding 40, guaranteeing superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
Key Features:
Feature | Advantage |

FAQ
F
Q1: What is the difference between 2507 (S32750) and 2205 (S31803)?
2507 (Super Duplex): Higher Cr (25%), Mo (4%), N (0.27%); PREN >40; higher strength (550MPa yield); better for extreme chloride/high-temperature environments.
2205 (Standard Duplex): Lower Cr (22%), Mo (3%), N (0.15%); PREN 30-35; lower strength (450MPa yield); suitable for moderate corrosion environments.
Q2: Can 2507 pipes be welded on-site?
Yes. Use E2594 filler metal; avoid prolonged high-temperature exposure (prevents harmful sigma phase precipitation). No post-weld heat treatment required.
Q3: What is the maximum operating temperature for 2507?
Continuous: -50°C to 300°C; Intermittent: Up to 350°C. Avoid 300-500°C long-term (sigma phase risk).
Q4: Are China-made 2507 pipes certified for international projects?
Yes. All products comply with ASTM A790, ASME SA790, API 5L; certified by ISO 9001, PED, CE; full material test reports (MTR) available.
Q5: What is the typical lead time for orders?
Standard Sizes: 7-10 days (stock available)
