Stainless steels – Part 2: Technical delivery conditions for sheet/plate and strip
of corrosion resistant steels for general purposes

ABBREVIATIONS & DESIGNATIONS

STD = Standard Grade – Good availability, shorter lead times
SP = Special Grade – Limited availability, may require 12-16 week lead times
MART = Martensitic – Heat treatable, magnetic, moderate corrosion resistance
PH = Precipitation Hardening – Age-hardenable, very high strength

PRODUCT FORMS

C = Cold rolled strip (typically ≤8mm thickness)
H = Hot rolled strip (typically ≤13.5mm thickness)
P = Hot rolled plate / quarto plates (typically ≤75mm thickness)

SURFACE FINISHES (Process Routes)

Most common hot rolled: 1D (pickled, descaled)
Most common cold rolled: 2B (pickled + skin passed, bright)
Work hardened: 2H (cold worked for higher strength)
Bright annealed: 2R (smooth, bright surface)

PRE = Pitting Resistance Equivalent

It’s a calculated index that predicts a stainless steel’s resistance to pitting corrosion in chloride-containing environments (seawater, chemical plants, etc.).

Formula:

PRE = Cr% + 3.3×Mo% + 16×N%

Where:

  • Cr% = Chromium content
  • Mo% = Molybdenum content
  • N% = Nitrogen content

Why It Matters:

Higher PRE = Better pitting resistance

PRE Classification for Duplex:

  • PRE ~25-26: Lean duplex (1.4362, 1.4062, 1.4162)
    • Good for mild chloride environments
  • PRE ~30-35: Standard duplex (1.4462 “2205”)
    • Most common, excellent for seawater and chemical processing
  • PRE ~40-42: Superduplex (1.4410 “2507”, 1.4507)
    • Severe chloride environments, offshore oil & gas
  • PRE ~45+: Hyperduplex (1.4477)
    • Extreme conditions, deep seawater, highly acidic chloride solutions

IMPORTANT NOTES

1.All chemical compositions are CAST ANALYSIS (ladle/heat analysis)
2.Mechanical properties vary by product form (C, H, P) and thickness
3.Patented grades (marked *) require licensing from patent holder
4.Not all grades available in all product forms – check availability
5.Cold worked products (2H) achieve much higher strengths
6.Always specify inspection certificate type (minimum 2.2, usually 3.1)
