ASC2250® LDX U-Bend Testing Data

The duplex grain structure of ASC2250 LDX, with its continuous Ferritic phase means this product is much less sensitive to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Austenitic stainless grades, such as 304 and 316 are more susceptible to SCC.

Where sulfide stress cracking and stress corrosion cracking resistance in sour oilfield environments are required, ASC2250 LDX would be an excellent consideration.
