In this episode, we sit down with Rodney Rice, Managing Director of Langley Alloys, to explore the many facets of duplex stainless steels – from their origins in North Sea subsea applications to today’s diverse uses in marine, construction, water treatment, fertilizer production and renewable energy.

Joanne McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief of Stainless Steel World, talks with Rodney about how duplex grades combine high strength, corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness; why they’re an ideal fit for aggressive environments; and how advances in availability, fabrication and specialised grades are opening up ever more applications worldwide.
