Zeron® 100, which is also sold under the names Super Duplex Stainless and Super Duplex, is a highly alloyed stainless steel that is designed for use in difficult and aggressive environments.
Because of its outstanding strength, Zeron 100 is known as a super duplex stainless steel. Originally created for applications that demand corrosion resistance to seawater in the North Sea, Zeron 100 is also perfect for other industries and applications. These include:
- Oil and gas,
- Pulp and paper
- Power generation
- Chemical
- Pharmaceutical
- Mining
- Desalination,
Zeron 100’s other outstanding properties include:
- Resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
- Superior resistance to sulfuric acid in many different concentrations
- Stress corrosion cracking resistance
- Minimum Yield Strength of 80,000 psi
- More cost-effective than most nickel-based alloys
- Outstanding machinability
For a stainless steel alloy to be sold as Zeron 100 it must have a unique chemical composition, which includes these elements:
- Cr 24-26%
- Ni 6-8%
- Mo 3-4%
- Cu 0.5-1.0%
- W 0.5-1.0%
- Mn 1.0% max
- Si 1.0% max
- N 0.2-0.3%
