Super Duplex 25 Chrome / 2507

UNS S32750 • UNS S32760 • UNS S39274

COMMON TRADE NAMES: 25CRS, 25CRW, Super Duplex 2507, SM25CRW®, VM® 25S, SAF® 2507, Zeron® 100, Z-100

Super Duplex 25 Chrome, or 2507, are cold hardened duplex stainless steels defined by having a Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) greater than 40. Compared to 22 Chrome / 2205 Duplex, these alloys contain higher levels of chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen, which increases their resistance to localized pitting and crevice corrosion. In the annealed condition, these alloys have more than twice the strength of conventional austenitic stainless steels and superior corrosion resistance in many environments.

Characteristics of 25CRS

Corrosion Resistance

Super Duplex 25 Chrome has excellent resistance to chloride-induced pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. It is suitable for service environments high in chlorides, such as seawater cooling, salt evaporation, and desalination. It is also suitable for mild hydrogen sulfide, dilute reducing and organic acids, and moderate to high levels of oxidizing acids.
Service Temperature

Elevated Temperature Resistance

Super Duplex 25 Chrome may experience embrittlement if exposed to temperatures exceeding 480°F (249°C) for extended periods.
Mechanical Properties

Mechanical Properties

Super Duplex 25 Chrome has more than twice the strength of conventional austenitic stainless steels in the annealed condition. It can also be provided in the cold-worked condition with yield strength exceeding 160 ksi. It maintains good toughness at temperatures down to -50°F (-10°C).

Applications

Super Duplex 25 Chrome is used in environments containing high levels of chlorides or dissolved oxygen, such as oil and gas wells, seawater cooling, salt evaporation, desalination, geothermal wells, pulp and paper production, and chemical processing. In upstream oil and gas, Super 25 Chrome is commonly used as tubing, casing, or liners in mildly sour wells containing the presence of high chlorides with partial pressure of H2S ≤ 3 psi. CRA offers specialty Super Duplex 25 Chrome seamless pipe & tube for use in multiple industries and applications, including:

  • As tubing, casing, and liners in mildly sour oil and gas wells containing the presence of high chlorides with partial pressure of H2S ≤ 3 psi
