with less wastage of materials and in a much shorter period . Thanks to WAAM , expensive items such as impellers can be made on-site . 3D Metalforge of Singapore is one of a few companies that developed parameters for 3D-printing of super duplex . Other technologies being harnessed to include super duplex include fusion welding , precision casting , laser welding and machining . Swiss Steel Group recently launched its UGIMA ® -X 4460 duplex grade to simplify the machining process . Also , Thielmann developed a technique to mould duplex stainless steel for very thin weldings , the result of which is a beverage keg made of super-duplex . It is 30 % lighter than traditional kegs , is less likely to cause injury and withstand heavy-duty use over a long service life . Cheers !

that the techniques differ and require extra training , which may have been a disincentive in the past . Also , fabrication techniques have evolved to make the
use of duplex more worthwhile . Nowhere is this more evident than in 3D printing , thanks to which items such as turbine blades , fuel nozzles and HEs can be made
