Duplex Stainless Steel S31803 is a ferritic austenitic stainless steel that combines excellent corrosion resistance with high mechanical strength. It is one of the most widely used duplex grades, containing about 22% chromium, 5–6% nickel, and 3% molybdenum, along with nitrogen to enhance corrosion resistance.
S31803 is designed for use in severe environments where pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking are a concern. MOKSH TUBES & FITTINGS LLP is a trusted supplier, exporter, importer, and stockist of Duplex S31803 products such as pipes, tubes, fittings, flanges, plates, and custom components.

Duplex Stainless Steel S31803 is available in a variety of mill forms:
Duplex Stainless Steel S31803 is widely used across multiple industries due to its excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability:
Reactors, heat exchangers, and piping systems for chemical processing equipment.
Subsea equipment, risers, and pipelines for oil & gas applications.
Seawater systems and offshore structures with high corrosion resistance.
Equipment used in desalination plants operating in saline environments.
Machinery and piping used in pulp and paper production processes.
Vessels and tanks used in corrosive conditions for safe storage and processing.
It is widely used in chemical processing, marine engineering, desalination, and oil & gas applications.
Yes, but proper welding procedures and post-weld heat treatment are recommended for maintaining optimum corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
Yes, it provides excellent seawater corrosion resistance but is slightly less resistant than Super Duplex grades.
S31803 is more cost-effective for general use but offers slightly lower corrosion resistance compared to Super Duplex 2205.
