Product Description

UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel pipe is a widely used duplex grade that offers a balanced mix of good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness. It is the original standard duplex stainless steel, commonly specified in ASTM A790 and ASTM A789 for both seamless and welded pipe applications.
With a dual-phase microstructure (austenite + ferrite), UNS S31803 provides approximately twice the yield strength of 304 or 316L austenitic stainless steels, while maintaining good weldability and fabricability.

Which one to choose?

  • S31803 is suitable for most general duplex applications and is often more available and cost-effective.

  • S32205 is preferred for slightly more aggressive environments or when better weldability and higher pitting resistance are required.

  • Many ASTM A790 pipes today are dual-certified as S31803 / S32205, meeting both specifications.

FAQ – UNS S31803 Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe

Q: What is the difference between UNS S31803 and UNS S32205?
A: S32205 has tighter limits on Cr, Mo, and N, giving it slightly higher pitting resistance (PREN 33-37 vs 30-34). Many pipes today are dual-certified as both S31803 and S32205.
Q: Is UNS S31803 suitable for seawater applications?
A: Yes, S31803 offers good resistance to seawater and brackish water. For continuous immersion in aggressive seawater, super duplex (e.g., UNS S32750) may be recommended.
Q: Can UNS S31803 pipe be welded to 316L?
A: Yes, but proper filler metal (e.g., 309L or 2209) and welding procedure are required. Consult our technical team for specific cases.
Q: Is UNS S31803 magnetic?
A: Yes, due to its ferrite content, S31803 is slightly magnetic – unlike fully austenitic grades like 304 or 316.
Q: Do you provide cutting and threading services?
A: Yes, we offer custom cutting, beveling, threading, and grooving per your requirements.
