2205 S31803 duplex pipe Chloride stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steels

It is widely used in offshore oil and gas exploration/production and in heat exchangers in petrochemical/chemical processing.

ASTM A240 Type 2205 Plate is a duplex stainless steel plate that is used extensively in various industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas exploration, and marine engineering. SA 240 GR 2205 Sheet is made from grade 2205 stainless steel, which is a combination of ferritic and austenitic steel.

A789 UNS S31803 and UNS S32205 are two grades of duplex stainless steel that are widely used in various industrial applications. These Duplex S31803 Seamless Pipes are known for their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and good weldability. A789 is a specification that covers seamless and welded tubes made from duplex stainless steel.

Higher chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen content results in a Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) > 40, providing superior pitting and crevice corrosion capabilities to austenitic and duplex stainless steels in virtually all corrosive media, and critical pitting temperature Above 50¡ãC .

Duplex stainless steels have a mixed microstructure of austenite and ferrite, the aim being to produce a 50/50 mix, although, in commercial alloys, the mix may be 40/60 respectively.

Due to the alloy’s very high mechanical strength, dual-phase fastener manufacturers can reduce the weight of their designs by thinning the cross-section of the final product, proving a cost-saving alternative to other grades of stainless steel.

Application fields of duplex stainless steel:
¡¤ Pressure vessels, high-pressure storage tanks, high-pressure pipelines, heat exchangers (chemical processing industry).
¡¤ Oil and gas pipelines, heat exchanger fittings.
¡¤ Sewage treatment system.

Another reason for the good mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel fasteners can be attributed to the mixed but balanced austenitic and ferritic microstructure present in the alloy.

Duplex stainless steel fasteners are made from alloys with high chromium content and low to moderate nickel content.

Both ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47 have endorsed pipe flanges made from a series of duplex stainless steel grades.

Duplex steel UNS S31803, UNS S32205 round rods and wires are widely used in chemical, oil and gas, fertilizer and other application industries.

The flange is second most used joining method after selding. Flanges are used when joints need dismantling. It provides flexibility for maintenance. Flange connects the pipe with various equipment and valves. Breakup flanges are added in the pipeline system if regular maintenance in required during plant operation.
A flanged joint is composed of three separate and independent although interrdlated components; the flanges, the gaskets, and the bolting; which are assembled by yet another influence, the fitter. Special controls are required in the selection and application of all there elements to attain a joint, which has acceptable leak tightness.
A flange is a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal, that serves to increase strength (as the flange of an iron beam such as an I-beam or a T-beam); for easy attachment/transfer of contact force with another object (as the flange on the end of a pipe, steam cylinder, etc., or on the lens mount of a camera); or for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its parts (as the inside flange of a rail car or tram wheel, which keep the wheels from running off the rails). The term “flange” is also used for a kind of tool used to form flanges.

The SA 182-F51 S31803 comes under ASME B16.47, B16.48 and B16.5 standards with sizes ranging from 1/8 NB to 48NB.

The high chromium, molybdenum, and nickel levels provide excellent resistance to pitting, crevice, and general corrosion.

The steel has excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, high thermal conductivity and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. The high chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen levels provide excellent resistance to pitting, crevice, and general corrosion.

Duplex steel UNS S31803 round bar is widely used for ferritic and austenitic duplex stainless steel bars.

At temperatures above 300¡ãC, the brittle trace components of 2205 precipitate, and at temperatures below -50¡ãC, the trace components undergo a ductile-brittle transition; therefore, this grade of stainless steel is not suitable for use at these temperatures.

Duplex stainless steel is designed to combine improved resistance to stress corrosion cracking (including sulfide stress corrosion cracking), pitting, crevice corrosion and high strength when compared with other stainless alloys.

There are SA 182 F53 S32750 Blind Flanges, socket weld flanges and weld neck flanges in this range of material. The different flanges are used in different applications set ups.

Alloy 2205 duplex stainless steel plate is an alloy duplex stainless steel plate containing 22% chromium, 3% molybdenum, and 5-6% nickel nitrogen.

The structure of 2205 duplex stainless steel consists of a pool of austenite surrounded by a continuous ferrite phase. In the annealed condition, 2205 contains approximately 40-50% ferrite. 2205 is often referred to as the workhorse grade and is the most widely used grade in the duplex stainless steel family.

The yield strength of duplex stainless steel is twice that of austenitic stainless steel. This feature allows designers to reduce weight when designing products, making this alloy more cost-effective than 316, 317L.

The microstructure of ASME SA 479 Duplex Steel UNS S32205 Flat Washers includes a combination of ferritic and austenitic phases. ASTM A479 Duplex Steel UNS S31803 Gaskets have excellent general corrosion resistance in a variety of aggressive chemicals including industrial and seawater acids.

Duplex 2205 is a (two-phase) ferritic-austenitic stainless steel with high strength and excellenut corrosion resistance, with a maximum Brinell hardness of 290 (Rc31) in the annealed condition.

Duplex 2507 is a super duplex stainless steel containing 25% chromium, 4% molybdenum and 7% nickel. This alloy is designed for applications requiring excellent strength and corrosion resistance.

It is also exceptionally resistance to chloride SCC. Flanges are supplied with pitting resistance equivalent that is assuring very good pitting corrosion resistance.

They have a design that allows for the pipes to pass through the flange and locate the correct point for connection. The ASTM A182 grade F53 WNRF Flange has a welded neck raised face.

Duplex ( UNS S31803 / S32205 ) rods, also known as steel rods (ASTM A276 / ASTM A479 ), have excellent corrosion resistance. Stainless steel rods/stainless steel rods ( en 1.4462 ) are resistant to intergranular and crevice corrosion.

The equivalent proportions of their existence make it possible for the alloy to express qualities reminiscent of each steel type. Take austenitic steels, where the most basic grade, like 790 steel duplex pipe, has substantial corrosion resistance properties.

Compared with ferrite, it has higher plasticity and toughness, no room temperature brittleness, significantly improved intergranular corrosion resistance and welding performance, and maintained 475 ¡æ brittleness, high thermal conductivity and Superplasticity of ferritic stainless steel. Compared with austenitic stainless steel, its yield strength is significantly improved, and its resistance to intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion, corrosion fatigue and abrasion is significantly improved.

Designers may have the option to reduce the wall thickness of the duplex 2205 welded pipe, because of its high yield strength. The yield strength of this material is almost two times that of the usually used austenitic stainless steel grade. Unlike austenitic steel pipe, the Duplex 2205 Tube may at times exhibit magnetic behavior because the microstructure of its alloy contains about 50% ferrite.

UNS S31803 Bolted Fasteners are used in marine, agricultural, chemical, construction, shipping, aviation, nuclear and industrial equipment.

For many applications where 300 series stainless steel is susceptible to chloride stress corrosion cracking, 2205 duplex stainless steel is a cost-effective solution. Stress corrosion cracking occurs when stainless steel is subjected to tensile stress while in contact with solutions containing chlorides. Elevated temperatures also increase the susceptibility of stainless steel to stress corrosion cracking.
