Effects of environmental factors and alloying elements on corrosion behavior of duplex stainless steels in CO/sub 2/-H/sub 2/S-Cl/sup -/ environments were investigated, and the corrosion resistance of DP3 Alloy (25Cr-7Ni-3Mo), which has been developed for hot sea water heat exchangers, was compared with that of other materials. The corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steels increased with the increase of Cr, Ni, and Mo contents in CO/sub 2/-H/sub 2/S-Cl/sup -/ and CO/sub 2/-Cl/sup -/ environments. SCC occurred on duplex stainless steels with Ni content below 6 pct, even in the H/sub 2/S-free conditions at high temperature. Low-temperature aging treatment increased the susceptibility to SCC of duplex stainless steels with lower Ni content. DP3 alloy is resistant to SCC at least up to the temperature of 250/sup 0/C (480/sup 0/F) in CO/sub 2/-Cl/sup -/ environments, though the application of this alloy to H/sub 2/S environments is limited.
