Import Tips
• Duplex stainless requires certification of ferrite/austenite balance and PREN value for quality verification
• Verify no annealing/polishing occurred post-hot-rolling, as heat treatments may constitute 'further worked'
• Pitting resistance key for duplex; ensure surface condition meets hot-rolled descale standards
