SAF™ 3006 – the missing tool in your duplex toolbox for heat exchanger tubing

SAF™ 3006 (UNS S83071) is a high-alloy duplex (austenitic-ferritic) stainless steel that is tailored to enhance corrosion resistance in acid and caustic environments. Designed specifically for heat exchangers within the chemical and petrochemical industries, it provides a cost-effective alternative to austenitic stainless steels and nickel-based alloys. SAF™ 3006 offer all the benefits you’d expect of a duplex steel, in terms of strength, lighter weight and cost-efficiency, but tailored to resist acids in heat exchangers, with or without seawater cooling.

SAF™ 3006 – the perfect choice

This new super-duplex offers all the advantages of an advanced duplex grade, including high mechanical strength (enabling lighter construction) and cost-efficiency, while offering high corrosion resistance to acids. Compared to the super-duplex SAF™ 2507 (UNS S32750), it provides equal or better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.
