Advanced Materials & Processes, June, 2005
LDX2101 is a lean duplex stainless steel that provides high strength and excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, reports Outokumpu Steel, Finland. The duplex steels have a structure that is 50% ferrite and 50% austenite. They combine the high strength and resistance to stress corrosion cracking of a 400 series ferritic stainless, with the general corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication of the 300 austenitic steels.
