Corrosion resistance of advanced austenitic-ferritic (duplex) stainless steels

The recent literary data on the corrosion resistance of austenitic-ferritic (duplex) stainless steels of the third generation (such as 03Kh25N5AM3) are surveyed. The steels are shown to be a promising and efficient cast-deformable and and weldable structural material for a number of industries. The steels show good mechanical properties, good workability, and high resistance to general and local corrosion and are therefore recommended for use in corrosive environments.
