What are S32760 Pipes & Tubes?

You'll often hear S32760 referred to as Werkstoff Number 1.4501 or 1.4410. It's a member of the super duplex stainless steel group. What sets it apart is its internal structure: a carefully managed blend of austenite and ferrite, usually close to a 50/50 split. This dual-phase structure isn't just a technical detail; it's the source of the material's strength. It combines the best features of both steel types, giving you much higher strength than standard grades like 316L stainless, plus outstanding resistance to various forms of corrosion.

Super Duplex Steel S32760 Pipes, in particular, are highly valued for how well they resist pitting and crevice corrosion. This is absolutely critical in chloride-heavy environments – think seawater systems or certain chemical process lines. The specific alloy recipe includes tungsten (W) and copper (Cu), along with robust amounts of chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), and nitrogen (N). This mix gives S32760 a clear performance advantage over standard duplex steels and many other corrosion-resistant options. Another major plus is its strong defense against Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC), a known vulnerability for less capable materials when heat and chlorides combine.

The same benefits carry over to Duplex Stainless Steel S32760 Tubing. This makes it a smart choice for heat exchangers, hydraulic lines, and instrumentation where smaller diameters might be necessary. Because S32760 is inherently strong, engineers can often design components with thinner walls compared to those made from conventional austenitic steels. This design flexibility can lead to real weight savings and sometimes, noticeable cost benefits in the overall project.

Technical Specifications In Practice

These specifications form the basis of our S32760 product line. Standards like ASTM A790/SA790 and A789/SA789 specifically address pipes and tubes intended for corrosive environments, placing particular emphasis on resisting stress corrosion cracking.

Choosing between UNS S32760 Seamless Pipes and welded versions usually comes down to the application's pressure demands and project economics. Seamless pipes, made from one solid piece of steel, offer uniform strength and are often the default choice for high-pressure work. Welded pipes, however, can be more cost-effective, especially in larger diameters. Modern welding practices produce high-integrity welded pipes that perform admirably in a huge range of applications, often matching seamless performance. We ensure our welding and heat treatment processes meet or exceed industry standards to maintain that critical duplex structure and corrosion resistance. And for any work potentially involving sour gas (H2S), confirming compliance with NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 is standard procedure.

Chemical Composition and Mechanical Properties

The real-world performance of S32760 is a direct result of its tightly controlled chemistry and the impressive mechanical properties this chemistry delivers.

Chemical Composition (Typical) - The Recipe for Performance

Here's a breakdown of the elements in S32760 and what they bring to the table:

Element	Typical %	Why It's Important
Carbon (C)	≤ 0.030	Kept low to prevent welding issues and maintain peak corrosion resistance
Silicon (Si)	≤ 1.00	Aids in the steelmaking process
Manganese (Mn)	≤ 1.00	Helps with processing and adds a touch of strength
Phosphorus (P)	≤ 0.030	An impurity, controlled to low levels
Sulfur (S)	≤ 0.010	Another impurity; keeping it very low boosts corrosion resistance & toughness
Chromium (Cr)	24.0 – 26.0	The primary defender against general corrosion and pitting
Nickel (Ni)	6.0 – 8.0	Promotes the austenite phase, crucial for toughness and formability
Molybdenum (Mo)	3.0 – 4.0	A powerhouse element for resisting pitting and crevice corrosion
Nitrogen (N)	0.20 – 0.30	Significantly boosts strength and pitting resistance (PREN factor)
Tungsten (W)	0.50 – 1.00	Adds an extra layer of defense against localized corrosion, especially in acids
Copper (Cu)	0.50 – 1.00	Enhances resistance to certain acids, like sulfuric

A Quick Word on PREN: The Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number helps quantify pitting resistance. S32760 consistently achieves a PREN ≥ 40, signaling its top-tier performance in this area.

Mechanical Properties - Strength Meets Toughness

S32760 offers an excellent balance: high strength combined with good ductility. Here’s what you typically expect at room temperature (after annealing):

Property	Typical Metric Value	Typical Imperial Value	What This Means in Practice
Density	7.8 g/cm³	0.282 lb/in³	In line with other stainless steels
Melting Point	Approx. 1350 °C	Approx. 2460 °F	Handles elevated temperatures well
Tensile Strength (min)	750 - 800 MPa	109 - 116 ksi	Shows how much stress it can take before breaking
Yield Strength (0.2% offset, min)	550 MPa	80 ksi	The point where it starts to permanently deform; key for design
Elongation (min)	25 %	25 %	Indicates good ability to bend or stretch without fracture
Hardness (typical)	≤ 32 HRC / ~270 HBW	≤ 32 HRC / ~270 HBW	Resists surface indentation and wear
Impact Toughness (Charpy V)	Remains tough to -50°C	Remains tough to -58°F	Doesn't become overly brittle in moderately cold conditions

That high yield strength is a major advantage. Engineers can often design lighter structures by using thinner walled S32760 Alloy Tubes and pipes compared to standard austenitic grades. This saves material, reduces weight, and can lower installation costs – especially important in offshore and aerospace applications.
