KITZ Super Duplex Valves are provided with all advantages of ferritic and austenitic stainless steel,
plus upgraded pitting corrosion resistance and higher cost performance
 
Ferritic stainless steel
Ferritic stainless steel
Austenitic stainless steel
Advantage
• Excellent resistance to SCC
  (stress corrosion cracking)
• Lower cost
  (with no Ni content)
• Higher tenacity equivalent to
  austenitic stainless steel
• Higher resistance to SCC
• Higher mechanical strength
• Higher cost performance (SDPV-K3)
• Higher tenacity
• Higher weldability
Disadvantage
• Lower tenacity
• Lower weldability
• H2 embrittlement
• δ-embrittlement(high Cr,Mo)
• Less δ-embrittlement (SDPV-K3)
• Lower resistance to SCC
Upgraded pitting corrosion resistance and cost effectiveness
