Heat treatment :

                                      SD 2507Cu is delivered  in the solution annealed and  water quenched conditions
                                      (1080/1120°C  -  1976/2018°F).  The  chemical  analysis  and  heat  treatment  are
                                      optimised in order to reach a 50%  / 50%  microstructure.



         CORROSION                          General corrosion
         RESISTANCE
                                      SD 2507Cu performs particularly well in sulphuric and phosphoric acid  solutions,
                                      even  in  presence  of  chlorides.  The  duplex  microstructure  which  provides  high
                                      mechanical properties explains why the alloy behaves particularly well in abrasion-
                                      corrosion conditions (agitators, screws, rakes...).

                                      Mixed  acids  are  often  associated  with  chlorides  and  in  pollution    control
                                      equipments. Due to high chromium, molybdenum and copper additions, SD 2507Cu
                                      behaves  well  in  scrubber  systems.  In  Pulp  and  Paper  industries,  SD  2507Cu  is
                                      used  in the most severe conditions encountered for example in digester (resistant
                                      to hot wall problems), chips presteaming vessels or in some bleaching equipments.
