Duplex SS Fasteners are produced from an alloy that has a high content of chromium and low to moderate content of nickel. The high chromium content in the Duplex Stainless Steel Fasteners gives them high tensile strength along with increased hardness and toughness. Therefore Duplex Stainless Steel Fasteners are less likely to get damaged or deformed and get dented.Another reason for the Duplex Stainless Fasteners having good mechanical properties can be attributed to the mixed, yet balanced austenite and ferrite microstructure present in the alloy.
In fact the improved strength of the Duplex Steel Fasteners is inherited from the austenitic portion of the structure while its toughness has been inherited from the ferritic portion of the microstructure. Since the mechanical strength of the alloy is very high, Duplex Fasteners Manufacturer can reduce the weight of the designed product by thinning cross section of the end product, there by proving to be a cost saving alternative to other grades of stainless steel. The reduction in the weight of the product does not mean that the other qualities are compromised.
