1.4362 UNS 32304 Duplex Stainless Steel 2304 By yaang.com

DataTime:[2015-4-23]
Duplex Stainless Steel 2304 UNS S32304 is a 23% chromium, 4% nickel, molybdenum-free duplex stainless steel. The Alloy 2304 has corrosion resistance properties similar to 316L. Furthermore, its mechanical properties, i.e., yield strength, are twice those of304L/316L austenitic grades. This allows the designer to save weight, particularly for properly designed pressure vessel applications.
Duplex Stainless Steel 2304 UNS S32304, is a lean duplex steel, similar to other duplex steels with it's high strength and resistance to chlorides stress corrosion cracking, however, due to its lower alloying content it has a lower level of pitting and crevice corrosion resistance (PREN approximately 26). As it contains very little Molybdenum, 2304 is a good economical alternative to 316L in some applications although 2304 is not recommended for use above 300°C. Also known by the the Uranus 35N and SAF2304.
The Duplex Stainless Steel 2304 UNS S32304 is particularly suitable for applications covering the -50°C/+300°C (-58°F/572°F) temperature range. Lower temperatures may also be considered, but need some restrictions, particularly for welded structures. With its duplex microstructure, low nickel and high chromium contents, the alloy has improved stress corrosion resistance properties compared to 304 and 316 austenitic grades.

With its duplex microstructure and low nickel and high chromium contents, the alloy has improved stress corrosion resistance properties compared to 304 and 316 austenitic grades. uplex stainless steel 2304 successfully passes most of the standard IC test procedures such as ASTM, A262E, and C tests. Its corrosion rate in boiling nitric acid (65%) is higher than that of Alloy 316L. Due to its high yield strength, the alloy performs well in abrasion/corrosion applications.

Applications
Generally where 304 and 316L are used 
Pulp and paper industry (chip storage tanks, white and black liquor tanks, digestors) 
Caustic solutions, organic acids (SCC resistance) 
Food industry 
Pressure vessels (weight savings) 

Mining (abrasion/corrosion)

Corrosion Resistance
General Corrosion
Because of its high chromium content (23%) the corrosion resistance properties of 2304 are almost equivalent to those of 316L.
Localized Corrosion Resistance
The 23% chromium and 0.1% nitrogen additions explain why 2304 duplex stainless steel behaves much better than Alloy 316L when considering pitting and crevice corrosion resistance.
Stress Corrosion Resistance
Stress corrosion resistance test results in chloride containing aqueous solutions ((8ppm 02) PH =7, >1000 h, applied stresses higher than the yield strength) show that Alloy 2304 outperforms Alloys 304L and 316L, due to its high chromium additions and low nickel contents.This is a typical feature of duplex stainless steels. Alloy 2205 performs still better than 2304 in similar conditions.
