duplex pipe

The chemical composition of 2205 Duplex Stainless Pipe consists of the elements being used in the following content i.e. – 22% chromium, 3% molybdenum and about 5 to 6% nickel. Because of the content, in terms of quantity of chromium present in the alloy of this grade, this stainless steel is also referred to as 22cr Duplex 2205 Pipe.

Although when the 2205 duplex stainless tubing material has been exposed to temperatures above 572¡ãF, even when the exposure is for a short period of time, the duplex 2205 seamless tube is subject to embrittlement.

2205 duplex pipe is not recommended to be used at a temperature above 572¡ãF. Due to the presence of higher chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen contents, 2205 duplex stainless steel tubes demonstrates superior corrosion resistant properties in comparison to the more conventionally used austenitic stainless steel grades 316 and 316L in most environments.

The presence of these three elements in higher amounts is also what provides the duplex 2205 seamless pipe with a higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, even when the alloy has been exposed to oxidizing and acidic solutions alike.

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.

Duplex Steel Pipe is a metal alloy pipes that is made out of steel with different alloying elements. The name comes from the dual nature of the material.

The inclusion of chromium imparts good corrosion resistance to austenitic grade 304. However, increasing the chromium content to about 25%, as in the case of 2205 duplex stainless steel pipe makes the alloy resilient across several media.

The duplex material contains bot the austenitic and ferrite structures in the metallurgy of the material. These properties bring the material the best of both ferritic and austenitic steel types. The pipes could be hot rolled or cold drawn. The hot rolled ones are stronger and the cold drawn ones are seamless and accurate in dimensions. The Duplex Seamless Pipe is used in applications with high precision requirements.

The strength, factorially speaking of an ASTM A790 UNS S31803 Seamless Pipe, is two times higher than that of either of the two stainless steel classes. And the toughness and ductility of the Sa 790 UNS S32205 Welded Pipe are better in comparison to ferritic steels.

The corrosion resistance comes from the addition of alloying material, mostly the chromium content. The ASTM A790 Pipes are resistant to pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion.

Compared with ferritic stainless steel and austenitic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel pipe has good welding performance. It is neither like the welding heat affected zone of ferritic stainless steel, because of the grain coarsening, the plastic toughness is greatly reduced, nor like austenitic stainless steel, it is more sensitive to welding hot cracks.

The dual phase steel / super duplex steel stainless steel pipe is a kind of stainless steel with high strength and high corrosion resistance, which has the properties of austenitic stainless steel and ferritic stainless steel. Generally, when the carbon content is low, the Cr content is 18% ~ 28%, and the Ni content is 3% ~ 10%. Some steels also contain Mo, Cu, Nb, Ti, N and other alloy elements.

The standard austenitic steels like 304 (1.4301) and ferritic steels like 430 are relatively easy to make and to fabricate. As their names imply, they consist mainly of one phase, austenite or ferrite. Although these types are fine for a wide range of applications, there are some important technical weaknesses in both types.

Duplex stainless steels have a microstructure which is 50% ferritic and 50% austenitic. This composition gives them a better strength than either ferritic or austenitic steels. Further details about this topic are given below (see ASTM A790 pipes).

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

The combination of high strength, corrosion resistance and moderate weldability has many benefits but also bring disadvantages and limitations. High strength is a disadvantage when forming and machining. The higher strength also means that the metal is less ductile than austenitic grades. This means that these steels are not good when the goods being produce require any degree of complex forming. It is also worth bering in mind that evemn if the item can be formed in duplex steel greater forces are required. The metallurgy of duplex stainless steels is much more complex than for austenitic or ferritic steels whith the result that they are more complex and therefore expensive to produce. Howver the lower quantity of nickel in them as compared to austenitic grades does help to keep the cost down and reduce price volatility.

Duplex 2205 stainless steels are called “duplex” because they have a two-phase microstructure consisting of ferritic and austenitic stainless steel grains. When duplex stainless steel melts, it solidifies from the liquid phase to a fully ferritic structure. As the material cools to room temperature, about half of the ferrite grains transform into austenite grains (“islands”). The result is a microstructure of approximately 50% austenite and 50% ferrite.
