About the Masterclass
This in-depth Masterclass, led by materials experts from the Duplex World Steering Committee, offers a practical, detailed exploration of the real-world use of duplex stainless steels. It combines end-user-driven case studies with clear discussions on corrosion resistance, weldability, microstructure, heat treatment, and manufacturing challenges. Participants will also gain guidance on grade selection, product forms, and applicable specifications and codes to support sound engineering decisions.
What You'll Gain
- Clear, practical understanding of duplex stainless steel behavior in real operating and manufacturing conditions
- Ability to select the right grades and define appropriate heat treatment and fabrication routes
- Recognition of early warning signs that can lead to corrosion, weldability, or performance issues
- Sharpened decision-making connecting specifications, testing methods, and case studies to day-to-day engineering
- End-user experience grounded insights rather than theory alone
