Duplex steel flanges are made of duplex steel material and belong to the stainless steel family. It is designed to provide better corrosion resistance, especially chloride stress corrosion and pitting corrosion, and higher strength than standard austenitic stainless steels such as stainless steel 304 or stainless steel 316.

Duplex stainless steel flanges are widely used in pipeline systems, risers, manifolds, etc. in the offshore gas and oil industries, and also in the petrochemical industry in the form of pressure vessels and pipelines. Duplex 2205 flange material has good strength and high resistance to corrosion, pitting and crevice corrosion. The nominal chemical composition of Duplex 2205 is 22% chromium, 3.2% molybdenum, 5% nickel and other alloying elements such as manganese and nitrogen.

Sizes range from ?” to 48″. Pressure ratings range from 150 psi to 2500 psi and more. There are also different types of flanges for different applications. ASME SA182 F51 RTJ flanges have two rings as two halves that are joined at the joint by welding.

Flanges also have different faces such as raised face, flat face and ring joint. Flange applications are found in aerospace, nuclear engineering and chemical industry applications. Duplex stainless steel butt weld flanges have a weld neck for extra grip before and after welding.

Pipe flanges are widely used as a popular category of pipe fittings. Flanges are used to mechanically connect two pipes together. It can also be used to mechanically connect pipes to tees, valves, chokes or any other device. Flanges are available in round, square and rectangular. In some cases, flanges are usually ring-shaped or plate-shaped to form a rim at the end of the pipe when fastened to the pipe.

Austenitic-ferritic stainless steel variants have higher resistance to stress corrosion cracking, but lower toughness and impact strength than ordinary austenitic 304 and 316 stainless steels. Such materials include grades 2205, F51, F53 and F60. Duplex stainless steels have grown in popularity over the years due to their excellent chemical and mechanical properties, and compared to basic stainless steels, especially given the increased availability, the cost difference is now small.

The granular structure of the duplex is a ferrite-austenite hybrid material with a higher strength-to-weight ratio than 304 or 316. It balances the weldability of austenite with pure ferrite and maintains good mechanical toughness in applications exposed to cooler ambient temperatures. Offshore/seawater applications are common uses of this type of steel due to its excellent stress corrosion cracking properties. Therefore, duplexes are often found in desalination and pressure vessel plants located in port cities.

Duplex’s superior mechanical and chemical properties are offset by its formability difficulties. These grades are great for simple flanged connections for fixed services, but are less effective when forming complex metal shapes. Fortunately, machinability of dual-phase steels in complex and circular structures is not an issue in structural steels, given the widespread preference for simple mild steels in non-corrosive applications.

ASTM A182 specification covers stainless steel alloys produced by forging or rolling. This Duplex 2205 specification also covers components for high temperature service such as pipe flanges, forged fittings, valves and parts. After hot working, forged stainless steel grade 2205 duplex flanges must be cooled to a specific temperature before heat treating. Alloys must be heat treated according to certain requirements, such as heat treatment type, cooling medium, austenitizing/solution temperature, and quenching.

Materials according to ASTM A182 need to meet the required chemical composition. For example, dual phase steel 2205 butt weld flanges must contain elements such as carbon, silicon, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, manganese, phosphorus, columbium and titanium. The material used to produce this Alloy 2205 flange must meet the mechanical performance requirements of the grade specification ordered.

The base body of the DIN 1.4462 flange has both a ferritic and austenitic structure. The duality of their microstructure changes not only the mechanical properties but also their corrosion resistance properties. The chemical composition of UNS S31803 Socket Weld Flanges consists of 22% chromium, 3% molybdenum, and 5% to 6% nickel.

Due to its high content in this alloyed stainless steel, this grade is also known as 22 Cr duplex steel. Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 Flange SORF is the most widely used category of stainless steel grades. A typical feature of 22 Cr duplex steel plate flanges is high yield strength. In fact, the tensile strength of this special grade is often double or twice that of standard austenitic stainless grades.

Dual-phase steel butt-welded raised face flanges provide excellent and consistent machinability for increased cutting speeds, reduced tool wear and set-up time.

The formation of intermetallic phases such as sigma phase in duplex steel flange flanges occurs in the temperature range of 600¡ãC – 1000¡ãC, and the decomposition of ferrite occurs in the temperature range of 350¡ãC – 500¡ãC ( 475¡ãC embrittlement).

The basic idea of dual-phase steel long butt weld flanges is to produce a chemical composition that makes a roughly equal mixture of ferrite and austenite. The chemical composition of duplex steel lap flanges is balanced to produce approximately equal amounts of ferrite and austenite under solution annealed conditions.

Chromium, molybdenum, nitrogen and nickel are the most important alloying elements, which have a significant effect on the mechanical, physical and corrosion properties of duplex stainless steels. Chromium is necessary to form a stable chromium passivation film sufficient to protect steel from mild atmospheric corrosion. The higher the chromium content, the better the corrosion resistance.

2205 Duplex Steel consists of a two-phase microstructure of ferrite and austenite. When it comes to the chemical composition of 2205 duplex steel flanges, they mainly contain 22% chromium, 3% molybdenum and 5-6% nickel in the form of alloyed stainless steel.

Chromium is a ferrite former, which means it promotes the BCC structure of iron. It also increases oxidation resistance at high temperatures. Higher chromium also promotes the formation of intermetallic phases, which are detrimental to duplex stainless steels and should be addressed.

We are one of the largest producers of duplex steel sliding flanges with good fatigue strength and high corrosion resistance. 2205 Duplex Steel Blind Flange is also known for its various mechanical properties, such as excellent resistance to cracking, pitting, and corrosion in harsh environments.
