Common applications include offshore pipelines and processing equipment in oil and gas and chemical transport and processing installations in chemical production plants. The superior ductility allows extensive cold forming, so components machined from ASME SA276 Super Duplex 32760 Rectangular Bar retain high levels of durability under cyclic stressing. Fabricators value the excellent weldability of common techniques like gas tungsten arc welding. The alloy’s low thermal expansion means welded joints resist cracking during temperature fluctuations. These qualities facilitate the construction of intricate pressure vessels, heat exchangers, valves and pumps.

The combination of high strength plus corrosion resistance enables lighter wall thicknesses compared to 300 series stainless steels without compromising integrity or longevity. This weight reduction, combined with excellent fabrication traits, makes UNS S32760 Half Round Bar a go-to choice for equipment intended for extremely hostile environments. The alloy serves well from cryogenic conditions up to 570°F in chemical processing, oil refining, petrochemical transport, flue gas desulfurization, and pollution control equipment.

Components from the round bar stock provide reliable, low-maintenance operation through repeated heating/cooling cycles and prolonged exposure to acidic conditions. UNS S32760 Hexagonal Bar stays resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking, outperforming other stainless steel alloys.
