Solitaire Steel And Engineering LLP

Solitaire Steel & Engineering LLP import and supply duplex fasteners in all grades of duplex, to customer specification. Duplex grades are a mixed microstructure of Austenite and Ferrite, combining the properties of both (hence the name DUPLEX). Duplex stainless steels have high corrosion resistance as well as a high strength. Mechanical properties are around double that of a typical austenitic grade such as 316. They would also normally offer higher stress cracking resistance in Chloride solutions for example. They are composed typically of 22% Chromium, 5 % nickel. Having worked with duplex since its outset, the duplex bolting continues to account for a core part of our business, along with Super duplex.
