Duplex stainless steels are a metallic family. These are known as duplex (or austenitic-ferritic) grades because their metallurgical structure comprises of two phases in about equal proportions, austenite (face-centered cubic lattice) and ferrite (body-centered cubic lattice). They are intended to offer greater corrosion resistance, notably against chloride stress corrosion and chloride pitting corrosion, as well as more strength than ordinary austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304 or 316. When compared to austenitic stainless steel, the key changes in composition are that duplex steels have a greater chromium concentration, 20-28%; a higher molybdenum content, up to 5%; a lower nickel content, up to 9%; and 0.05-0.50% nitrogen. Both the low nickel content and the high strength (which allows for the use of thinner sections) provide substantial cost savings.

Market Drivers:

The growing demand for corrosion-resistant materials in the oil and gas industry is one of the key drivers for Duplex Stainless Steel.

One of the primary drivers for the Duplex Stainless-Steel market is the growing need for corrosion-resistant materials in the oil and gas industry. Offshore drilling platforms, pipelines, and subsea equipment all rely on materials that can survive severe and corrosive environments.

Duplex Stainless Steel has great corrosion resistance, making it ideal for oil and gas applications. It performs exceptionally well in situations with high chloride concentration, which is common in offshore and subsea activities. The capacity of the material to withstand pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking contributes to its increasing use in the oil and gas industry.

The requirement to ensure the integrity and endurance of vital infrastructure in the oil and gas sector drives demand for Duplex Stainless Steel. The need for corrosion-resistant materials such as Duplex Stainless Steel is predicted to rise as oil and gas exploration and production activities develop, particularly in harsh offshore and deepwater settings.

Market Trends:

The growing use of duplex stainless steel in the renewable energy sector is one key trend in the Duplex Stainless-Steel market.

The increasing use of duplex stainless steel in the renewable energy sector is one trend in the Duplex Stainless-Steel market. Duplex stainless steel has a number of advantages that make it ideal for use in renewable energy applications.

Duplex stainless steel is used in the renewable energy sector for numerous components such as turbine foundations, support structures, and offshore platforms, particularly in offshore wind farms and tidal power projects. These applications necessitate materials that can survive harsh marine environments, such as saltwater exposure, corrosion, and extreme weather conditions.

Duplex stainless steel is appropriate for these demanding settings due to its outstanding corrosion resistance, high strength, and weldability. Its resistance to pitting and stress corrosion cracking enhances the lifetime and endurance of renewable energy sources.

The growing investment in offshore wind farms, as well as the global shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, are driving the adoption of duplex stainless steel in the renewable energy sector. This tendency is projected to continue as the renewable energy business grows and more projects are built around the world.

Market Restraining Factors:

The increased competition from alternative materials could be a significant limitation in the Duplex Stainless-Steel market.

Indeed, rising competition from other materials is a serious constraint in the Duplex Stainless-Steel market. As industries and applications advance, new materials with comparable or improved qualities to duplex stainless steel may emerge, causing market competition.

Alternative materials, such as advanced composites, high-performance alloys, or coatings, may provide comparable levels of corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, or other required properties at a cheaper cost or with extra benefits. This can make widespread adoption and expansion of the Duplex Stainless-Steel market difficult.

While duplex stainless steel offers unique features that make it suited for a variety of applications, such as superior corrosion resistance, high strength, and durability, the availability of competing materials may lead to potential consumers researching other possibilities. Cost-effectiveness, weight reduction, or specific application requirements may affect decision-making and shift demand away from duplex stainless steel.

To overcome this constraint and preserve its market position, the Duplex Stainless-Steel industry will need to constantly develop and highlight the particular advantages and value proposition it offers compared to other materials.

Key Industry Developments:

• In Feb 2022, Fatigue tests were conducted on duplex stainless-steel specimens exposed to natural seawater, both with and without cathodic protection (CP). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of CP on the fatigue behavior of duplex stainless steel in a marine environment.The results of the fatigue tests indicated that duplex stainless steel exhibited improved fatigue performance when subjected to CP. The presence of CP helped in reducing the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks, thereby extending the fatigue life of the material. This can be attributed to the protective nature of CP, which helps to mitigate the corrosive effects of seawater and reduce the likelihood of localized corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.
