Duplex Steel Alloy 329 Round Bar Overview
Duplex Steel Alloy 329 Round Bar is machined and fabricated into shafts, fasteners and structural components for service in chloride and acidic media where austenitic bars corrode faster. As one of the original duplex grades, its higher chromium content gives strong general and pitting corrosion resistance, historically used in pulp & paper, chemical processing and marine equipment.

Corrosion Resistance of Duplex Steel Alloy 329
- Duplex Steel Alloy 329 Round Bar carries a comparatively high chromium content among duplex grades, giving strong resistance to localized attack.
- Pitting resistance: high resistance to chloride-induced pitting in acidic and brine service.
- Crevice resistance: performs reliably at bolted and shrink-fit joints where crevice corrosion typically starts.
- Chloride SCC resistance: resists stress corrosion cracking that limits austenitic bars in hot chloride environments.
- ⚠️ Flag: exact PREN value not stated here – confirm against verified composition before publishing.
Heat Resistance of Duplex Steel Alloy 329
Alloy 329 round bar is generally suited to continuous service across a moderate temperature range typical of early duplex grades; industry guidance commonly limits continuous use to roughly 300°C to avoid embrittlement risk. Always confirm exact service limits against the governing standard and application before specifying.
Key Properties of Duplex Steel Alloy 329 Round Bar
Beyond corrosion and heat performance, Alloy 329 round bar offers these additional properties.
- Higher strength than standard austenitic stainless bar
