Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN): How to Compare Duplex & Super Duplex Alloys

When choosing stainless steel for oil and gas, marine, desalination, chemical processing, mining, and offshore applications, pitting corrosion is one of the most significant corrosion problems. The integrity of pipes, fittings, flanges, valves, and other pressure-carrying components may eventually be compromised by localized, hard-to-detect attacks caused by surroundings containing chloride. The Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number […]
