Womic Stainless Steel Co., Ltd
Exceptional Pitting and Crevice Corrosion Resistance: PRE ≥ 42 (typically 42–45) due to high chromium (24–26%), high molybdenum (3.0–5.0%), and nitrogen (0.24–0.32%) content.
Ultra-High Mechanical Strength: Minimum yield strength ≥ 550 MPa (approximately 3.2 times that of 316L and 1.2 times that of Duplex 2205).
Superior Chloride SCC Resistance: Excellent resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking, significantly outperforming both austenitic grades and standard duplex 2205.
NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Compliant: Fully qualified for sour service with highest allowable H₂S partial pressures and lowest pH values.
Excellent Low-Temperature Toughness: Maintains excellent impact toughness down to -50°C with Charpy V-Notch ≥ 70J typical at -46°C.
Low Thermal Expansion: Coefficient of thermal expansion (13.0 μm/m·K) – lowest among all duplex and austenitic grades.
High Resistance to Erosion and Corrosion Fatigue: Outstanding resistance to high-velocity seawater and abrasive slurry applications.
Good Weldability: Requires strict procedure with low heat input, N₂ shielding gas, and ER2594 filler metal.
International Certifications: Channels can be certified by ABS, BV, DNV, LR, GL, RINA, CCS, KR, and NK, and comply with NORSOK M-630, NACE MR0175, and ISO 13628-4 standards.

Impact Toughness (Charpy V-Notch, typical at -46°C):
l Longitudinal: ≥ 70 J (typical)
l Transverse: ≥ 50 J (typical)
Heat Treatment Condition:
Super Duplex 2507 stainless steel channels are solution annealed at
1050–1120°C followed by immediate water quenching (delay
must be kept under 30 seconds). This heat treatment restores the balanced
40–60% ferrite / 40–60% austenite microstructure, dissolves unwanted
intermetallic phases, and ensures maximum corrosion resistance.
Critical Note: Super Duplex 2507 requires immediate water quenching after solution annealing. Air cooling is completely unacceptable and will result in intermetallic phase precipitation, severely reducing corrosion resistance and toughness.
Delivery Condition:
Channels are normally supplied in solution annealed and pickled condition,
providing a clean, smooth surface and excellent corrosion resistance.

1. What is the difference between
Super Duplex 2507 and Duplex 2205 channels?
Super Duplex 2507 has higher chromium (24-26% vs 22-23%), higher molybdenum
(3-5% vs 3-3.5%), and higher nitrogen (0.24-0.32% vs 0.14-0.20%), giving PRE
≥42 (vs ≥35) and higher strength (YS ≥550 MPa vs ≥450 MPa). For deepwater
subsea, HP/HT sour gas, and extreme chloride environments, 2507 is the
preferred material.
2. What is the maximum water depth
for Super Duplex 2507 channels?
With proper design, Super Duplex 2507 structural sections are suitable for
water depths up to 3000 meters (10,000 feet) for subsea applications.
3. Can Super Duplex 2507 channels be
welded?
Yes, but strict procedure required. Use ER2594 filler, low heat input (0.3-1.0
kJ/mm), N₂ shielding gas, interpass temperature <150°C. No PWHT required.
4. What is the maximum service
temperature for Super Duplex 2507 channels?
250°C (482°F) for chloride service; 300°C (572°F) for non-chloride service.
Above 300°C, risk of sigma phase embrittlement increases significantly.
5. Are Super Duplex 2507 channels
suitable for sour service (H₂S environments)?
Yes. Super Duplex 2507 is fully NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliant for sour
service up to 232°C (450°F) with the highest allowable H₂S partial pressure
limits. HIC and SSC test reports available upon request.
Highest Strength Available: 2.7-3.2x stronger than 316L – significant weight reduction for offshore structures
Deepwater Subsea Certified: ABS, BV, DNV, LR certified for water depths up to 3000m
NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 Compliant: Highest H₂S partial pressure tolerance
NORSOK M-630 Qualified: Complete documentation packages for offshore and subsea projects
Ferrite Controlled: 35-65% ferrite documented (minimum 40% for sour service)
Charpy Impact Tested: -46°C (-50°F) documented as standard for offshore projects
