Based in the industrious city of Hamilton, Hemi Metals is a trusted local source for high-performance materials, proudly supplying New Zealand industry with precision-engineered Duplex Steel S31803 Bars and Rods. We understand that the backbone of any great project is reliable materials, which is why we focus on providing products that offer a superior blend of strength and corrosion resistance, backed by our commitment to quality and local expertise for engineers and fabricators nationwide.
Duplex Steel S31803 achieves its remarkable properties through a balanced microstructure of austenite and ferrite steels. This unique composition, rich in chromium and nickel with additions of molybdenum and nitrogen, gives these bars and rods an excellent yield strength, significantly higher than standard austenitic grades. They also possess outstanding toughness and excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, making them far more durable in demanding environments than many alternatives.
