Import Tips
• Duplex alloys require MTC showing PREN >35 (pitting resistance) but classify same as austenitics if meeting stainless criteria
• Check for high-strength steel note (a) applicability—duplex often exceeds yield points but remains stainless heading
• Ensure product not certified for razor blade use (note d) which would require different statistical reporting
