What is ASTM A789 UNS S32750 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 S32750 — the 2507-class workhorse super duplex — has heat limits of carbon ≤0.030%, chromium 24.0–26.0%, nickel 6.0–8.0%, molybdenum 3.0–5.0%, nitrogen 0.24–0.32%, and copper 0.50% max in A789/A789M-24 Table 1. Footnote C of that table requires PREN = %Cr + 3.3×%Mo + 16×%N ≥ 41 for this grade, which is the contractual corrosion floor many seawater and chloride specs rely on.

SHH STEEL can produce and supply ASTM A789 UNS S32750 super duplex stainless steel tube as seamless and welded product (welded without filler metal) in the usual heat-exchanger and process OD × wall / BWG band, with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates that report ladle chemistry (including a PREN check when requested) and tensile plus hardness. Dual A789/SA789 marking only when both standards are named on the order. Hub: A789/A789M.

2507, 1.4410, and S32750 super duplex are common shop names. Compare with W-bearing A789 S32760, hyper duplex A789 S32707 / A789 S33207, and standard duplex A789 S32205. Plate: A240.

Chemical Composition of A789 S32750

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

ElementHeat analysis, %
C0.030 max
Mn1.20 max
P0.035 max
S0.020 max
Si0.80 max
Ni6.0–8.0
Cr24.0–26.0
Mo3.0–5.0
N0.24–0.32
Cu0.50 max

A789 footnote C mandates PREN ≥41 using Cr + 3.3Mo + 16N — verify on every heat certificate. Mid-range chemistry (Cr 25, Mo 4.0, N 0.28) screens about PREN ≈ 43. Cu is a maximum only. Supplier web tables sometimes disagree on hardness (300 vs 310 HBW); this pack uses 300 HBW / 32 HRC from the inmoteh older Table 4 reprint.

Mechanical Properties of A789 S32750

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, min116 ksi [800 MPa]
Yield strength (0.2% offset), min80 ksi [550 MPa]
Elongation in 2 in. or 50 mm, min15%
Hardness, max300 HBW / 32 HRC

15% elongation in older copies — plan U-bends accordingly. Soft disagree: some supplier pages list 310 HBW for S32750; we cite 300 HBW from the more complete Table 4 reprint and note the conflict.

Seamless and Welded Tube

A789 Section 5 allows seamless or welded manufacture with no filler metal added. Seamless S32750 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 S32750 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 S32750 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

UNS S32750 maps to EN 1.4410 (X2CrNiMoN25-7-4) and the 2507 trade family.

Heat Treatment and Delivery Condition

A789/A789M-24 Table 2 lists UNS S32750 at 1880–2060 °F [1025–1125 °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 S32750 solution-annealed and quenched per Table 2.

Corrosion Resistance

S32750 is the default super duplex for seawater-influenced and high-chloride duties that require PREN ≥41 and duplex SCC resistance with roughly double austenitic yield strength. Footnote C makes PREN a contractual chemistry requirement, not just a brochure claim.

Choose A789 S32760 when W-bearing chemistry is specified; choose hyper duplex A789 S32707 when PREN must sit well above the 41 floor. Do not substitute A789 S32205 into an S32750 seawater crevice line.

Applications of A789 S32750 Tube

Seawater coolers and heat exchangers, offshore process tube, desalination reject and brine systems, and chemical-process chlorides where 2507 / S32750 is frozen. Higher strength supports thinner walls versus 2205 and 316L.

SHH STEEL produces and supplies A789 S32750 for enquiry sizes and test extras including PREN reporting on the MTC when requested.

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.

Why Choose SHH STEEL

SHH STEEL produces and supplies ASTM A789 UNS S32750 super duplex tube — coordinating PREN≥41 chemistry, tube making, solution anneal, testing, and EN 10204 3.1 documents to the PO. Production capability, not trader-only “2507” of uncertain UNS.

We call out the 15% elongation floor, the PREN footnote, and the hardness-table disagreement across public copies so buyers specify acceptance clearly.

FAQ

What does the A789 PREN footnote mean for S32750?
Footnote C in A789/A789M-24 Table 1 requires %Cr + 3.3×%Mo + 16×%N ≥ 41 for UNS S32750. That is a melting chemistry acceptance rule, not an optional marketing claim. Ask for PREN to be calculated and shown on the EN 10204 3.1 certificate when your project freezes a PREN floor.
How does S32750 compare with S32760?
Both are super duplex. S32760 adds tungsten 0.50–1.00% and copper 0.50–1.00%, and A789 footnote D uses the W-adjusted PREN form Cr + 3.3(Mo + ½W) + 16N ≥ 41. S32750 uses the Mo-only PREN form without a W requirement. Match the named UNS and footnote on the purchase order.
What heat treatment does S32750 need?
A789/A789M-24 Table 2 lists 1880–2060 °F [1025–1125 °C] with rapid cooling in water or equivalent. Fast quench is essential to limit sigma in this high-Mo grade. A789 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 S32750?
Older A789 Table 4 copies (inmoteh reprint) list minimum tensile 116 ksi [800 MPa], yield 80 ksi [550 MPa], elongation 15%, and hardness max 300 HBW / 32 HRC. Some supplier web tables show 310 HBW instead — a soft disagreement. Table 4 was not in the public -24 sample; reconfirm on the PO edition.
Is S32750 suitable for continuous high-temperature service?
Generally no for prolonged elevated-temperature duty. Super duplex grades are susceptible to 475 °C embrittlement and to rapid sigma formation if held in the intermetallic window. A789’s scope highlights embrittlement risk; select a different alloy family when creep or continuous high-temperature strength is the design driver.
Is ASTM A789 the same as ASME SA789 for S32750?
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 S32750 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 S32750 when named on the enquiry.
Can SHH STEEL produce S32750 tube, or only trade it?
SHH STEEL can produce and supply ASTM A789 UNS S32750 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.
Which tests are mandatory on A789 S32750 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 S32750 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 S32750 tube be marked and certified?
Stencil and MTC should carry ASTM A789 / A789M, UNS S32750, 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.
