Bethlehem Lukens Plate:Duracorr 1 of 4

INTRODUCTION
Duracorr® is a low-cost, 11% chromium, dual phase steel plate produced by Bethlehem Lukens Plate. When compared to weathering, painted or galvanized steels, it has life-cycle cost advantages that permit its effective use in a wide variety of applications. Duracorr is formable and weldable. It can be produced to 50 ksi minimum yield strength with good toughness.

Although less corrosion resistant than 300-series stainless steel grades, Duracorr is substantially more corrosion resistant than weathering, painted or galvanized steels. Duracorr develops a brown patina when used in non-abrasive, atmospheric conditions.

Duracorr is listed in ASTM A240 as UNS designation S41003. The steel may be used in a number of applications requiring strength and corrosion resistance.
