Sanmac® 329 is a duplex stainless steel with optimized sulfur content and inclusion morphology for improved machinability. The grade is characterized by:
C | Si | Mn | P | S | Cr | Ni | Mo | N |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
≤0.05 | ≤1.0 | ≤2.0 | ≤0.035 | ≤0.030 | 25.5 | 5 | 1.5 | 0.08 |
Sanmac® 329 is especially suited for the manufacture of components for pumps and other equipment used in, for example, alkaline environments commonly found in the pulp and paper industry.
Sanmac® 329 has a Pitting Resistance Equivalent (PRE*) of ≥31.
*The PRE is defined as, in weight %:
PRE = % Cr + 3.3 x % Mo +16 x % N
Sanmac® 329 has very good resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride environments. The grade has also good resistance to general corrosion in acidic media, thanks to the high chromium content and alloying with molybdenum.
Finishes and dimensions
The standard size range for bar steel in Sanmac® 329 is 75-180 mm. Round bar is supplied in the solution annealed, quenched and peel-turned condition.
Lengths
Bars are delivered in random lengths of 3-7 m, depending on diameter.

By applying the collective Sanmac knowledge in the upgrade of the standard Alloy 329, Alleima R&D engineers have increased the machinability of the material to a new level. That, combined with a low spread in the manufacturing process, will provide major benefits to customers using Sanmac 329.
In the solution annealed and quenched condition Sanmac® 329 has an austenitic-ferritic microstructure, which is free from grain-boundary carbides and intermetallic phases. The ferrite content is 55 – 75%.
