” For a metallurgist, duplex stainless steel remains fascinating. I like to compare it with the magic of fruiting unions by adding vinegar, it creates sweetness. I find it an unlogic combination. Using vinegar needs to be performed with care, requires eagerness of trying, and/or curiosity of exploring new tastes. Not by surprise it’s only a few who practice acidic caramelization in their cooking, except for those who really like vinegar (not in my family).
Duplex possesses the same magic appeal of creating sweet properties by mixing phases. It is also applied only among those who dear to explore their ability and knowledge of selecting the better grade of stainless steel. Duplex is a material that needs attention in manufacturing, is of high promise in cost savings and chemical resistance. We all like to benefit, but application is limited to whom dear to try. For a duplex conference it is no wonder that this event attracts interesting people. Visitors are those who dear to innovate, who are enthusiastic in sharing their achievements, who like to explain their benefits and knowledge of the duplex stainless steels.
Duplex is a taste of endless opportunities and learnings that attracts me. For all with an interest in metallic materials, I do highly recommend our conference, Duplex World will grab you for life. “
