ASTM A182 S32205 Flange

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.

The combination of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen gives 2205 good resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion. This resistance is extremely important for services such as marine environments, brackish water, bleaching operations, closed loop water systems and some food processing applications. The high chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen content of 2205 provides better corrosion resistance than common stainless steels such as 316L and 317L in most environments, and Citizen Metals has been actively involved in ensuring the best possible quality for our customers.

This exotic alloy is used in oil and gas exploration and is also used in the chemical processing industry. Most processing equipment uses Duplex 2205. Also used by industrial storage and transportation units. Pulp and paper digesters, liquid tanks and paper machines also use Duplex 2205. It is ideal for use in marine environments.

Duplex 2205 is characterized by high resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, chloride pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, good general corrosion resistance, good sulfide stress corrosion resistance, high strength and good weldability and workability.

Duplex flanges consist of a material type called duplex. The material has both ferritic and austenitic microstructures in metallurgy. There are different grades of duplex depending on the material composition. Duplex stainless steel flanges have the best ferritic and austenitic properties. They are used as replacements for expensive high alloys in many industrial applications.

Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 stainless steel butt weld flanges feature a high yield strength that is twice the annealed yield strength of typical austenitic stainless steels such as 304 and 316 stainless steel butt weld flanges. Because of this, Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 steels are some of the most common duplex grades used for butt weld flanges, with Super Duplex 2507 butt weld flange being the more corrosion resistant grade of the two.

Duplex steel Werkstoff No 1.4462 threaded flanges also cannot be used below -50¡ãC as it will cause a ductile to brittle transition. Duplex UNS S32205 Orifice Flange has a tensile strength of 1,16,000 psi 800 MPa. Whereas the duplex SAF 2205 socket weld flange has a yield strength of 80,000 psi 550 MPa. The 2205 Duplex Butt Weld Flange is a low carbon version that is not affected by sensitization and avoids carbide precipitation in welding applications.

Super Duplex 2507 Butt Weld Flanges have improved corrosion resistance, making themselves suitable for applications prone to stress corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion, pitting, erosion and general corrosion. Due to the characteristics of duplex and super duplex stainless steel butt weld flanges, they are often used in chemical processing, petrochemical, power industry and seawater equipment.

Duplex steel flanges are often used for heavy duty welded components. We produce these flanges using high quality raw materials. Our customers trust us in the quality of our products as we continuously strive to improve our technology and provide impeccable products and services.

Use of duplex and super duplex stainless steels should be limited to below 570¡ãF, as prolonged exposure to high temperatures can make the material brittle.

Compared to similar ferritic and austenitic grades, the super duplex steel 1.4410 flange has a lower alloying cost and, due to the well improved yield and tensile strength, has Corrosion resistance.

Duplex 2205, UNS S32205, is a stainless steel material that derives its “duplex” name from a mixed microstructure containing roughly equal portions of ferrite and austenite. This grade is the most popular variety, and this two-phase material is a significant upgrade over 316 stainless steel in terms of yield strength and corrosion resistance.
