The industry looks for new steel types, as requirements for steel strength properties in corrosion environment are becoming more stringent. Duplex stainless steels have a chance to become the most advantageous material for a number of industries. The technical interest in these alloys is due to the improvement of steel production technology, as producers found an opportunity to control nitrogen content more precisely. The paper highlights a need to study joints weldability and corrosion resistance to hydrogen sulfide stress cracking (HSC), hydrogen cracking (HC), intercrystalline Corrosion (ICC), knife-line attack (KLA), and pitting corrosion to assess the possibility of using duplex steels in the production of structures designed for operation in corrosion environment.
