Duplex steel coils are continuous flat-rolled lengths of austenitic-ferritic stainless steel wound after hot or cold rolling. The microstructure splits close to half and half between the two phases, and each contributes what the other lacks. Ferrite supplies strength plus resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, while austenite brings toughness and weldability. Together, they let a duplex coil carry loads that would need a far thicker section in 304 or 316, so fabricators trim weight and material cost out of the same design. Chloride-laden water that pits standard austenitic strip within months leaves a duplex surface largely untouched.
As a reputable duplex steel coils stockist, we maintain our slitting lines in our Mumbai warehouse. Cold-rolled stock begins at 0.03 mm; hot-rolled handles the thicker end, up to 5 mm. Coil ID spans 150 mm to 610 mm with OD reaching 1800 mm, which suits most decoiler setups without modification. Mill documentation travels with each full-width coil before it reaches the slitter, and material ships solution annealed, the condition ASTM A240 sets for duplex flat products. To secure a dependable duplex steel coil supply, order a complete source coil or have us slit it down to width; both start from one shelf.
