About duplex stainless steel

Duplex stainless steels have a mixed microstructure of roughly half austenite and half ferrite. The result is about twice the yield strength of 316L, much better resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking, and pitting resistance (PREN 34–36) between 316L and the 6Mo grades.
