Applications

Duplex stainless steel ASTM A351 Grade CD3MWCuN is typically used for cast pump components for demanding corrosive fluid-handling service, including pulp and paper applications. Other cast components used in this material family include impellers, covers and valve bodies. Applications include water treatment, chemical processing, selected marine systems, desalination and pulp-and-paper pumping equipment.

The appropriate duplex grade depends on the actual water chemistry and operating conditions.
