Short answer: Pulp and paper mills use 316 and duplex stainless for digesters and wet-end chemical service, hardened steel for wear rollers, and stainless or galvanized steel for screens, deckles and conveyors, balancing corrosion resistance, abrasion life and cost across the dirty, wet process.
At a Glance
A Wet, Chemical Fight
Bleach, steam and abrasion attack the metal, so stainless leads wet service, with data in our Corrosion Resistance Guide and grade map in our Corrosion Protection Guide.
Digesters and Wet End
316 and duplex resist the digester and bleach plant, detailed in our Duplex Stainless Supplier e Chemical Processing Guide; welding in our Stainless Welding Guide.
Rollers and Screens
Hardened steel rollers and stainless screens resist wear and stay clean, with finish in our Surface Treatment Guide and wear plates in our Wear Plate Guide.
Sourcing and Care
Buyers confirm grade and finish via our Mill Test Certificate Guide e Surface Roughness Guide; packing is in our Export Packing Guide.
