What is ASTM A789 UNS S32707 Super Duplex Stainless Steel Tube

ASTM A789 / A789M covers seamless and welded ferritic/austenitic stainless steel tubing for general corrosion service with particular emphasis on stress corrosion cracking resistance. UNS S32707 is listed with heat limits of carbon ≤0.030%, chromium 26.0–29.0%, nickel 5.5–9.5%, molybdenum 4.0–5.0%, nitrogen 0.30–0.50%, copper 1.0% max, and cobalt 0.5–2.0% in A789/A789M-24 Table 1. The QUEUE titles this page Super Duplex, but in industry practice S32707 is widely marketed as a hyper duplex grade — PREN typically above the conventional super duplex band (public overviews often cite hyper duplex above about PREN 45) — developed for the most aggressive chloride and deepwater duties where 2507-class alloys are not enough.

SHH STEEL can produce and supply ASTM A789 UNS S32707 super duplex (hyper duplex class) stainless steel tube as seamless and welded product (welded without filler metal) in typical heat-exchanger and process OD × wall / BWG sizes, with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates. Dual A789/SA789 marking only when both standards are on the order. Hub: A789/A789M.

EN 1.4658 appears with S32707 in public duplex tables. Compare with sister hyper duplex A789 S33207 and with conventional super duplex A789 S32750 / A789 S32760. Plate: A240.

Chemical Composition of A789 S32707

Heat analysis must meet A789/A789M-24 Table 1. Product analysis follows A480/A480M annex tolerances when ordered.

ElementHeat analysis, %
C0.030 max
Mn1.50 max
P0.035 max
S0.010 max
Si0.50 max
Ni5.5–9.5
Cr26.0–29.0
Mo4.0–5.0
N0.30–0.50
Cu1.0 max
Co0.5–2.0

Mid-range PREN = Cr + 3.3Mo + 16N at Cr 27.5, Mo 4.5, N 0.40 is about PREN ≈ 49 — hyper duplex territory. Cobalt 0.5–2.0% is a required range unique among many A789 grades. High Mo+N sharply increases sigma sensitivity; quench discipline is non-negotiable.

Mechanical Properties of A789 S32707

Tensile and hardness floors come from older A789 Table 4 reprints; the public A789/A789M-24 sample did not include that table. Reconfirm on the PO edition.

PropertyRequirement (older A789 Table 4 copies)
Tensile strength, min133 ksi [920 MPa]
Yield strength (0.2% offset), min101 ksi [700 MPa]
Elongation in 2 in. or 50 mm, min25%
Hardness, max318 HBW / 34 HRC

Older Table 4 copies list 133/101 ksi — among the highest strength floors in A789 — with hardness max 318 HBW / 34 HRC.

Seamless and Welded Tube

A789 Section 5 allows seamless or welded manufacture with no filler metal added. Seamless S32707 tube is typically hot-finished then cold-drawn to final OD and wall; welded tube is roll-formed from matching strip and autogenously welded, then usually cold-worked and re-annealed so the seam meets parent-metal heat treatment and mechanical floors.

Seamless lots take a flaring test (minimum 10% inside-diameter expansion); welded lots take a flange test plus a reverse flattening test on a specimen from each 1500 ft [450 m] of finished tubing. Tension and hardness sampling apply to both routes. SHH STEEL produces and supplies both seamless and welded A789 S32707 against the route named on the enquiry, with EN 10204 3.1 coverage of chemistry and mechanicals.

Dimensions and Tolerances

Average wall is the default under A789; specify minimum wall on the order when that is the design basis. Outside diameter and wall are ordered as tube sizes (metric or inch OD × wall / BWG). General dimensional requirements sit in Specification A1016/A1016M unless A789 states otherwise.

ItemTypical enquiry practice for S32707 tube
Outside diameter12.7–76.2 mm common HX/process band; larger OD by agreement
WallAverage wall default; minimum wall when named; BWG 10–20 class and metric equivalents
LengthCut-to-length for exchanger bundles; mill random by agreement
Straightness / ovalityPer A1016/A1016M and any tighter project tolerance

When converting a pipe schedule into tube wall, state clearly whether acceptance is average or minimum wall — the two are not interchangeable on the mill ticket. SHH STEEL confirms OD × wall, length, and finish before the heat is reserved.

Equivalent Grades

Often marketed as hyper duplex / SAF 2707-type; certify to UNS S32707 on A789 orders. Title on this site remains Super Duplex per QUEUE.

Heat Treatment and Delivery Condition

A789/A789M-24 Table 2 lists UNS S32707 at 1975–2050 °F [1080–1120 °C] with rapid cooling in water or by other means unless Table 2 states otherwise. Seamless tube may be quenched directly after hot forming while at or above the minimum solution temperature where that alternate is allowed.

Rapid cooling limits time in the sigma-forming window (roughly 700–1000 °C), which is especially important for highly alloyed duplex and super duplex. A789’s scope warns that these steels are susceptible to embrittlement if used for prolonged periods at elevated temperatures, including 475 °C (885 °F) ferrite embrittlement. SHH STEEL supplies S32707 solution-annealed and quenched per Table 2.

Corrosion Resistance

S32707 is specified when conventional super duplex PREN is insufficient — deepwater, hot chlorides, and the most aggressive process waters. Mid-range PREN ≈49 and Co-bearing chemistry support that hyper duplex positioning, but fabrication defects (sigma, poor quench) will erase the corrosion advantage quickly.

Do not substitute A789 S32750 into an S32707 line without engineering approval. Sister hyper duplex A789 S33207 is the other PREN≥48-class option on this site.

Applications of A789 S32707 Tube

Deepwater oil-and-gas tubing, severe chloride heat exchangers, and process circuits that freeze hyper duplex / S32707 by name. Strength floors above 2507-class support thinner walls where code design allows.

SHH STEEL produces and supplies A789 S32707 and will discuss whether A789 S32750 or A789 S33207 better matches the project PREN floor.

Weldability

Autogenous A789 welded tube must meet parent anneal and mechanicals without filler. Fabrication welds that use filler typically take matching or overalloyed duplex/super duplex consumables with controlled heat input and interpass temperature so ferrite–austenite balance stays qualified. Re-anneal after heavy hot work when required; keep bake and stress-relief cycles out of the sigma nose and the 400–500 °C embrittlement band unless a qualified procedure says otherwise.

Surface Finishes

Standard delivery is solution-annealed and pickled (or otherwise descaled) so the passive film can form uniformly. Bright-annealed or lightly polished OD/ID finishes are available by agreement when the exchanger or hygienic duty needs a smoother bore. Passivation after pickling or after fabrication welding is good practice in chloride service; remove carbon-steel tooling contamination before commissioning. SHH STEEL states the finish route on the quotation and on the MTC.

Inspection and Testing

Each A789 tube takes either a nondestructive electric test or a hydrostatic test. Mechanical sampling covers tension, hardness, and flaring for seamless or flange plus reverse flattening for welded, with full heat analysis on the mill test certificate. Product analysis and supplementary corrosion or ferrite tests are added when the purchase order asks for them. SHH STEEL issues EN 10204 3.1 as standard and arranges third-party inspection / 3.2 when the enquiry names an agency, with lot identity per A789 Notes 1 and 2.

Packaging and Shipping

Tube is typically packed in hexagonal bundles or plywood cases with end protectors and waterproof wrapping for ocean freight, with bundle tags repeating heat number, size, and standard. Cut-to-length exchanger tube may be boxed by length group; U-bends travel in purpose-built crates when ordered. SHH STEEL ships FOB, CFR, CIF, or EXW under the Incoterm on the order, with commercial invoice, packing list, and the EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificate set.

FAQ

Why is S32707 called hyper duplex if the title says Super Duplex?
Jack’s QUEUE titles S32707 as Super Duplex for site consistency, but mill and industry literature commonly call S32707 a hyper duplex because mid-range PREN sits above the usual super duplex band (often cited above ~45). This article uses Super Duplex in the H1 and explains the hyper duplex marketing term in the body so buyers searching either phrase find the correct UNS.
What role does cobalt play in S32707?
A789/A789M-24 Table 1 requires cobalt 0.5–2.0% for UNS S32707. Co is part of the grade identity for this hyper duplex chemistry and should appear on the heat certificate within that range. Do not treat Co as an optional residual when ordering or reviewing MTCs. Always reconfirm numeric limits against the A789 edition named on your purchase order before design, forming, or corrosion acceptance.
What heat treatment does S32707 need?
A789/A789M-24 Table 2 lists 1975–2050 °F [1080–1120 °C] with rapid cooling in water or equivalent. High Mo and N make sigma formation a serious risk if cooling is slow. A789 also warns about embrittlement after prolonged elevated-temperature use, including 475 °C ferrite embrittlement. Always reconfirm numeric limits against the A789 edition named on your purchase order before design, forming, or corrosion acceptance.
What tensile values apply to S32707?
Older A789 Table 4 copies list minimum tensile 133 ksi [920 MPa], yield 101 ksi [700 MPa], elongation 25%, and hardness max 318 HBW / 34 HRC. Table 4 was not in the public -24 sample; reconfirm on the PO edition. Always reconfirm numeric limits against the A789 edition named on your purchase order before design, forming, or corrosion acceptance.
How does S32707 compare with S32750?
S32750 is conventional super duplex with an A789 footnote PREN ≥41; S32707 is a higher-alloyed Co-bearing grade typically screened as hyper duplex (mid-range PREN near ~49). Strength floors in older Table 4 copies are also higher for S32707. They are not interchangeable without a written materials change.
Is ASTM A789 the same as ASME SA789 for S32707?
No. ASTM A789 / A789M is the ASTM International product specification for seamless and welded duplex stainless tubing; ASME SA789 is the separate Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Book adoption of that grade text. Chemistry and mechanical floors align closely for a given referenced edition, but they remain two independent documents. Dual-mark A789/SA789 tube only when the purchase order asks for both names on the stencil and the mill test certificate.
Does A789 S32707 cover seamless and welded tube?
Yes. Section 5 of ASTM A789 states that tubes shall be made by the seamless or welded process with no filler metal added. Seamless product takes a flaring test with at least 10% inside-diameter expansion; welded product takes a flange test and a reverse flattening test every 1500 ft [450 m]. Both routes are solution-annealed and quenched per Table 2. SHH STEEL produces and supplies both routes for S32707 when named on the enquiry.
Can SHH STEEL produce S32707 tube, or only trade it?
SHH STEEL can produce and supply ASTM A789 UNS S32707 as seamless and welded tube in the usual heat-exchanger and process OD × wall band, documented on EN 10204 3.1 certificates. Melting chemistry, tube making, solution annealing, mechanical and hydro or NDE testing, and export packing are coordinated to the purchase order — production capability, not a trader-only offer.
Is S32707 suitable for continuous high-temperature service?
Generally no for prolonged elevated-temperature duty. Duplex grades including S32707 are susceptible to 475 °C (885 °F) embrittlement from spinodal decomposition in ferrite and to sigma-phase formation at higher temperatures if held too long. A789's own scope highlights embrittlement risk for prolonged elevated-temperature use; select a different alloy family when creep or continuous high-temperature strength is the design driver.
Which tests are mandatory on A789 S32707 tube?
Tension and hardness tests are required on a lot basis, and each tube must take either a hydrostatic test or a nondestructive electric test. Seamless tube also takes a flaring test; welded tube takes a flange test plus reverse flattening. Heat analysis appears on the mill certificate; product analysis and supplementary corrosion or ferrite tests are ordered extras. Lot definitions follow A789 Notes 1 and 2.
What sizes of S32707 tube can SHH STEEL supply?
Typical enquiry sizes for heat-exchanger and process duty run from about 12.7 mm to 76.2 mm outside diameter with BWG 10–20 class walls or metric average- or minimum-wall equivalents, supplied cut-to-length or as mill random lengths, seamless or welded. Non-standard diameters and heavier or lighter walls are quoted by agreement. See the Stock / Available sizes block and list OD × wall on the enquiry.
How should S32707 tube be marked and certified?
Stencil and MTC should carry ASTM A789 / A789M, UNS S32707, size, heat number, and the seamless or welded route. EN 10204 3.1 is the usual certificate; 3.2 with third-party attendance is available on request. Add SA789 to the marking only when the purchase order requires the ASME Code adoption alongside ASTM.
