Duplex steel | 1.4462 | AISI 318LN
Description
The duplex steel 1.4462 combines high corrosion resistance with excellent mechanical strength and good weldability. Thanks to its two-phase microstructure of austenite and ferrite, it offers particularly high resistance to stress corrosion cracking and is ideal for demanding applications in the offshore, chemical and food industries. 1.4462 is particularly valued in maritime environments and plant construction due to its resistance to chlorides and aggressive media. With metal 3D printing using laser powder bed fusion, highly resilient and complex components can be manufactured from 1.4462, ensuring a long service life and high efficiency in challenging areas of application.
