Carbon steel and stainless steel were widely used in the paper and pulp industry until rising environmental concerns and cost inefficiencies led to the adoption of modern duplex stainless steel. While stainless steel and carbon steel are still utilized in certain stages of paper and pulp mill operations, duplex stainless steel has become a key material for its superior strength and corrosion resistance.

In addition, high nickel-based alloys are employed in specific processes to prevent iron contamination and withstand corrosive environments. Among stainless steels, 304L and 316L remain the most commonly used grades, with 6% Moly alloy primarily used in bleach plants and duplex stainless steels increasingly preferred in Kraft liquor applications.
