1.4362 is part of the family of DUPLEX steels. To a limited extent it can be used as a low-cost
substitute for austenitic chromium-nickel or chromium-nickel-molybdenum steels, possibly also
for the DUPLEX material 1.4460. It has a significantly higher yield strength than the austenitic
steels. DUPLEX stainless steels have become popular as a result of their unique combination of
corrosion resistance, resistance to stress corrosion cracking and high tensile and yield strength.
Its high strength makes this steel ideal for the construction industry. With a relatively low nickel
content compared with conventional austenitics, 1.4362 is also attractive in terms of cost.

Corrosion
resistance
(PRE = 23.13 29.13)
1.4362 displays excellent corrosion resistance in acid environments, particularly in phosphoric

and organic acids, also in environments with a low chloride content. It has higher corrosion
resistance compared with 1.4404. Thanks to its dual-phase structure, the steel is greatly superior
to austenitic grades as it is insensitive to intergranular corrosion and particularly resistant
to stress corrosion cracking.
Heat treatment
and mechanical
properties
Optimum processing and service properties are achieved by solution annealing at 950 C to
1050 C followed by rapid cooling in air or water. The following mechanical properties apply to
this condition:

Due to its susceptibility to both 475 C and sigma phase embrittlement, use of this material is
restricted to temperatures below 300 C.
Welding
The DUPLEX steel 1.4362 is readily weldable using all welding methods, both with and
without the use of filler metals. If a filler metal is required, we recommend Novonit 1.4462.
No heat treatment is required after welding. Thanks to its dual-phase structure, the material
displays low susceptibility to heat cracking. Welding parameters must be optimally selected
for a controlled ferrite content. The use of higher energies (10 25 kJ/mm) is recommended for
welding, as this results in a better phase distribution in the weld zone. The maximum interpass
temperature is 150 C.
Forging
1.4362 is sensitive to thermal shock. For this reason, slow heating up to temperatures of
1150 C is required to allow forging in the 1150 C 900 C temperature range. Subsequent
cooling must be carried out rapidly in air.
Machining
Like all DUPLEX steels, 1.4362 can only be machined with difficulty. This is because of its
dual-phase microstructure and associated strength properties. Ideal cutting conditions are
more restricted than for austenitics. Within the possibilities available, it is always recommendable
to use coated carbide inserts or cermets. We propose the following cutting conditions for
1.4362 (m/min with coated carbide):
