318LN (1.4462) duplex stainless steel is commonly used in structural beams and columns due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The following outlines its characteristics, advantages and applications in structural beams and columns.
Material composition: Contains Chromium, Nickel and Molybdenum to provide a balance of strength and corrosion resistance.
Mechanical Properties:
High tensile strength (approx. 800-1000 MPa) and yield strength (approx. 450-600 MPa).
Good ductility and toughness make it suitable for load-bearing applications.
Corrosion resistance: Excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, especially in chlorinated environments.
Advantages of 318LN structural beams and columns
High strength-to-weight ratio: allows for lighter structures without compromising load-bearing capacity, reducing material costs and ease of handling.
Durability: Due to its corrosion resistance, it has a long service life, minimizing the need for maintenance and replacement.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications across a variety of industries, including construction, marine and chemical processing.
Aesthetic appeal: Modern look with smooth surface, making it ideal for architectural applications.
Manufacturing: Can be easily manufactured using standard techniques such as welding and machining.
Build:
Building Framing: Structural framing used in commercial and residential buildings.
Bridges: Used in bridge construction for both aesthetic and structural purposes.
Marine Structures: Offshore Platforms: Platforms and supports used for exposure to harsh ocean conditions.
Industrial Applications: Chemical treatment facilities: Beams and columns used in structures requiring high corrosion resistance.
Food and Beverage Industry: Processing plants: Suitable for structural components in facilities with high hygiene standards.
Power generation: Support Structure: Used in power plants to support equipment and structures.
Infrastructure: Public Structures: Used in a variety of public infrastructure projects including railings, canopies and sign brackets.
318LN stainless steel structural beams and columns provide a powerful solution for a variety of applications, combining high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and aesthetics. Their versatility makes them suitable for harsh environments across multiple industries, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
