22%Cr DUPLEX STAINLESS STEELS

Alloy type 22%Cr standard duplex ferritic-austenitic stainless steels. Materials to be welded
ASTM A182 Gr F51 A890 Gr 4A (cast) BS 318S13 BS EN & DIN 1.4462 X2CrNiMoN22-5-3 UNS S31803, S32205 J92205 (cast)

Microstructure Multipass welds in the as-welded condition contain about 2550% ferrite depending on dilution and heat input/cooling rate conditions. Welding guidelines Preheat not generally required. Interpass temperature 150C max. Heat input in the range 1.02.5 kJ/mm (depending on material thickness) should be acceptable but some codes restrict the max to 1.75 or 2.0kJ/mm. PWHT Although welds in wrought duplex stainless steels are almost always left in the as-welded condition, major repairs to castings are generally specified in the solution treated condition. Experience has indicated good properties following 1120C/3-6h + water quench with or without a cooling step to 1060C before quenching. Additional information A Technical Profile covering duplex and superduplex stainless steels is available. Related alloy groups Lean duplex (data sheet B-59), superduplex (data sheets B-61, B-62 and B-63) and duplex matching consumables for casting repairs. Products available

Applications Duplex stainless steel pipe, plate, fittings and forgings have an approximate 50:50 microstructure of austenite with a ferrite matrix. This, coupled with general alloying level, confers: - high strength compared with standard austenitic steels, eg type 316L. - good general corrosion resistance in a range of environments. - high resistance to chloride induced stress corrosion cracking (CSCC). - high resistance to pitting attack in chloride environments, eg seawater. These alloys are finding widening application in the offshore oil/gas, chemical and petrochemical process industries, eg pipework systems, flowlines, risers, manifolds etc.

General Data for all 22%Cr Duplex MMA Electrodes

Storage 3 hermetically sealed ring-pull metal tins per carton, with unlimited shelf life. Direct use from tin is satisfactory for longer than a working shift of 8h. Excessive exposure of electrodes to humid conditions will cause some moisture pick-up and increase the risk of porosity. For electrodes that have been exposed: Redry 200 300C/1-2h to restore to as-packed condition. Maximum 380 C, 3 cycles, 10h total. Storage of redried electrodes at 50 200C in holding oven or heated quiver: no limit, but maximum 6 weeks recommended. Recommended ambient storage conditions for opened tins (using plastic lid): < 60% RH, > 18C. Fume composition, wt % typical:

SUPERMET 2205
Product description

Overalloyed rutile electrode for 22%Cr duplex

MMA electrode with enhanced Cr, Mo and N levels, giving higher weld pitting resistance than the nearest AWS specification A5.4 E2209-16. See Ultramet 2205 for rutile type conforming to AWS. Supermet 2205 is made on high quality stainless steel core wire with a rutile flux system designed to give minimum carbon content coupled with optimum operating characteristics. Supermet 2205 is designed for welding wrought, forged or cast "standard" duplex stainless steels for service in the as-welded condition. Good properties are also obtained when solution treated, as frequently required for casting repairs. The electrode has a rutile flux system and is used primarily for downhand and H-V welding applications. Smaller sizes offer excellent all-positional operability. Recovery is about 120% with respect to core wire, 65% with respect to whole electrode.

Basic pipe-welding electrode for 22%Cr duplex

MMA electrode made on duplex stainless core wire with a special basic flux to give optimum all-positional operability. Recovery is about 105% with respect to core wire, 65% with respect to whole electrode. The electrode has a basic flux system and is recommended where the highest sub-zero toughness is required, and for the most demanding positional welding applications such as fixed pipework in the ASME 6G position.

SUPERCORE 2205, 2205P

Product description

Flat and positional FCAW for 22%Cr duplex

High performance rutile flux cored wires produced in the most versatile size of 1.2mm. Supercore 2205 is suited to welding in the flat and horizontal-vertical positions (material > 6mm). Supercore 2205P is optimised for positional welding, both vertical up and for fixed pipework qualified in the ASME 5G or 6G welding positions (pipe typically > 150mm diameter, > 15mm wall). Made with an austenitic stainless steel sheath and rutile flux system. Weld metal carbon content is typically <0.03% when using either 80%Ar-20%CO2 or 100% CO2 shielding gas. Metal recovery about 90% with respect to the wire.
