NAS74N (UNS S32750)
High Corrosion Resistant Super Duplex Stainless Steel

NAS74N is a super duplex stainless steel with a pitting resistance equivalent (PRE*) number higher than 40, which provides not only excellent corrosion resistance but also excellent strength properties. In particular, NAS74N has superior localized corrosion resistance compared with UNS S32205 (NAS329J3L, SUS329J3L), and UNS S32506 (NAS64, SUS329J4L). Therefore, industries utilize NAS74N for applications in severe environments, including chemical plants and desalination facilities, due to its superior corrosion resistance and mechanical properties Nippon Yakin supplies NAS74N in the form of plate, sheet, and strip.

Workability

Manufacturers must pay attention to the strength behavior of NAS74N, which experiences a significant increase below 1000°C despite having lower strength than Type 304 at high temperatures. After hot working, they should carry out solution annealing. Additionally, they must consider the cold workability of NAS74N due to its higher proof stress and lower elongation compared to Type 304

Weldability

Conventional welding processes including GTAW (TIG), GMAW (MIG/MA) can be used. We recommend using filler metals for UNS S32750 to ensure optimal welding performance and structural integrity. Neither preheating nor post-weld heat treatment is necessary. Interpass temperature should be no more than 100°C in order to prevent precipitation of intermetallic compounds of σ phases that result in brittleness.

Heat Treatment

Perform solution annealing of NAS74N within the temperature range of 1025°C to 1125°C. After this process, quickly dip the material into water or use other approved methods according to ASTM A480/A480M. This practice helps prevent brittleness at 475°C and inhibits the formation of σ phases.

Pickling

We apply a mixture of nitric and fluoric acids for pickling to effectively remove surface impurities and enhance corrosion resistance. In addition, due to its higher corrosion resistance, immersion into fused salt bath before pickling is significantly effective to take scale off. And further occasion shot blasting before pickling is extremely effective.

Applications

Seawater desalination plant, Environment-related equipment, Chemical plants, Seawater pump.
