The ASTM standard A240 for flat products lists the properties of all major stainless steels, and is used by designers and specifiers worldwide. The new 11th edition now includes this company’s LDX 2404 using its generic UNS S82441 designation. The new duplex grade enables thinner gages to be employed in a variety of applications, yielding considerable material savings, says the manufacturer. LDX 2404 provides excellent resistance to corrosion. The first order for the new grade was recently received from a German company for building tanks used in biogas production. — Outokumpu Stainless AB, Avesta, Sweden
