Applications
Duplex chemical tankers
Todays, modern chemical tankers are highly sophisticated ships with the latest technology for safe cargo handling. The cargo range from crude chemicals to edible oils, fruit juices and even wine. Nowadays, most chemical cargo tanks are constructed of duplex stainless steel due to its good corrosion resistance and high strength. Several thousand tonnes of duplex stainless steel are used to build a mid-sized chemical tanker. It need to be joined using different welding processes, offering the shipyard the most productive and cost-effective solution. ESABs experience of this application dates back to the late 1980s when the first chemical tankers built of duplex were welded with our consumables. Today, ESAB is able to supply and support a wide product range that covers all the processes and materials for the production of chemical tankers.

Weak points
Should not be used at working temperatures of more than approximately 250C. Above this temperature embrittlement can occur.

Rules of thumb
Before welding
A slightly wider root gap and joint angle than those used for standard stainless steel should be used to obtain good penetration. Use ceramic backing to facilitate root pass welding. The joint and the adjacent base metal should be thoroughly cleaned. Only stainless brushes should be used for cleaning. Preheating is normally not recommended. Dry electrodes should always be used. ESAB can supply the duplex electrodes in ESAB VacPac which is an effective system for handling welding electrodes. Three package sizes are adapted to match consumption during a normal working shift. This eliminates costly re-drying procedures. strikes can act as initiation points for pitting corrosion and cracks. Maintain proper arc length and stick-out to avoid nitrogen pick-up. A correct root gas shield is important. Suitable backing gases are high-purity Ar and mixtures containing N 2 and H 2 . Excessive weaving should be avoided. It can result in an overly high heat input.
After welding
Thorough cleaning after welding is essential to obtain good corrosion resistance. All slag and oxide on and around the weld must be removed. Brushing should be done manually and only with stainless brushes. Rotating brushes can result in micro-crevices in the weld metal. Subsequent heat treatment is normally not needed. Duplex steels and weld metals can, however, be solution heat treated (see steel producers recommendations). Stress relieving should be avoided as this can cause embrittlement of the steel and the weld metal. The flame straightening of deformed plates can be used, if the recommended procedure from the steel supplier is followed.
During welding
The heat input should be related to the plate thickness and welding method. A heat input which is too low or too high should be avoided (see heat input recommendations). Avoid striking the arc outside the joint. Arc
