UR™ 2507 - UR™ 2507Cu - UR™ 2507W

UR™ 2507 - UR™ 2507Cu - UR™ 2507W: 25Cr superduplex stainless

steels with PREN ≥ 40
Superduplex stainless steels have a very high resistance to localized corrosion in chloride media, combined with a
high mechanical strength. The series consists of three grades: UR™ 2507 (EN 1.4410), UR™ 2507Cu (EN 1.4507)
with addition of copper for enhanced resistance in sulfuric acid media, and UR™ 2507W (1.4501), with tungsten
additions for enhanced localized corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of these grades is better than
UR™ 904 and comparable to 6 Mo austenitics.
All these steels have a pitting resistance equivalent number, PREN, above 40, and a minimum guaranteed yield
strength of 550 MPa, allowing for leaner design in load bearing applications. The alloy composition, including
molybdenum and nitrogen additions, has been optimized to obtain a 50/50 austenoferritic microstructure with
outstanding corrosion resistance even for heavy plates. The UR™ 2507 series of duplex grades provide cost -
efficient alternatives for a wide range of applications, including offshore, phosphoric and sulfuric acid production as
well as flue gas cleaning.

Impact values of welds are closely relates to the microstructure (α / γ balance) and the control of chemical
composition (oxygen, nitrogen, nickel) which depend on welding processes and parameters. The best results are
obtained for high austenite contents (60 - 75%) and low oxygen levels. High nitrogen contents associated with high
ferrite levels must be avoided. For more information, please contact us.

CORROSION RESISTANCE
General corrosion resistance
The UR™ 2507 grades perform particularly well in highly corrosive conditions, including sulphuric and phosphoric
acid solutions, even in presence of chlorides. The duplex microstructure which provides high mechanical strength
explains why the alloy behaves particularly well in abrasion - corrosion conditions (agitators, screws, rakes...).
Superduplex grades are frequently used in mixed acids containing chlorides. Thanks to its copper content,
UR™ 2507Cu performs very well in sulfate environments, for example flue gas cleaning.

Pitting and crevice corrosion

The minimum PREN value of 40 also explains why the alloys are highly resistant to pitting corrosion and crevice
corrosion. The alloy behave much better than 904L and is, for pitting corrosion resistance, nearly equivalent to 6 Mo
super austenitic grades. In some cases, the crevice corrosion resistance is slightly higher than 6 Mo alloys due to the
25% Cr additions. Tungsten additions are considered beneficial for crevice corrosion resistance.
