Duplex Stainless Steel Machining: Parameters, Tooling, and Corrosion Control

Duplex stainless steel gives you roughly twice the yield strength of 316L with far better chloride stress-corrosion cracking resistance, which is why it dominates offshore piping, desalination hardware, and chemical processing. It also cuts like a completely different material. Shops that treat duplex stainless steel machining as “316 but harder” burn through inserts, work-harden the […]
