The properties of the recently developed alloy SAF 2304 and of other duplex stainless steels are reviewed. When stress corrosion cracking is a potential problem, this group of alloys offers advantages as compared with the standard austenitic stainless steels AISI 304/316. This is even more true when the high yield strength and the physical properties of the duplex stainless steels can be utilized.

Properties of the high-nickel austenitic alloy Sanicro 28 are also presented as well as case histories.
