UNS S31260

COMMON TRADE NAMES: 25 Chrome Duplex, 25Cr, SM25CR®, VM® 25, 2507, Duplex 2507

25 Chrome Applicable Environments25 Chrome (UNS S31260), also referred to as 2507 Duplex or Duplex 25 Chrome, is a cold hardened duplex stainless steel intended for corrosion resistance in sweet (CO2) and mildly sour (H2S) environments with high chloride content, requiring high strength up to 450°F.

25 Chrome offers increased resistance to the effects of CO2 , chlorides, pH, and temperatures relative to 22 Chrome allowing use as downhole tubular components, packers, and other subsurface equipment in deeper wells with high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions where pitting corrosion from high chlorides are a concern.

This alloy is classified in MR0175/ISO15156 as a duplex stainless steel having a Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number ≤40, suitable for H2S partial pressure ≤0.3 psi.

Applications in Upstream Oil & Gas

  • Corrosive environments containing the presence of CO2, low H2S, and chlorides
  • High-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT), sweet (CO2) environments where localized corrosion is a concern (high temperature, high chlorides, and low pH)
  • Tubing
  • Casing
  • Liners
  • Base Pipe for Sand Screens
  • Expandables
  • Perforating Guns
  • Landing Joints
  • Extensions
  • Shrouds
  • Maker Joints
  • Pipe for VIT
  • Swell Packers
  • Geothermal
  • Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCUS)
