Super Duplex Ball Valves, Manufactured in the UK
As part of our special metals range, Waverley Brownall offer Super Duplex stainless steel in a variety of our fittings and valves.
Super Duplex Makes A Super Ball Valve
The very first cast of Duplex Stainless Steel was being made back in the 1920-30’s at Avesta in Sweden. It has become particularly popular within the last 30 years. (This primarily due to advances in steel-making.)
As high chromium alloys, Duplex and Super Duplex have a higher tensile strength and good corrosion resistance.
Super Duplex in particular, has fantastic resistance against atmospheric and seawater environments.
Another benefit of picking Super Duplex as your alloy of choice, is its high resistance to cracking. Cracking can be a common problem with austenitic stainless steels.
Although Duplex is generally specified for use in structural and fabrication work, it is often used for pipeline components.
Here at Waverley Brownall, we can generally quote deliveries of less than 8 weeks(UK) for most of our products in the Duplex and Super Duplex range.
