Description

Rutile-basic coated electrode for Duplex 22%Cr stainless steels
These alloys are finding widening application in the offshore oil/gas, chemical and petro-chemical process industries for their good resistance to stress corrosion cracking and pitting corrosion with typical pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) of 35-36. The weld metal poses a high tensile and yield strength. Its basic coating ensures excellent positional welding characteristics with good gap bridging ability.

Description

Application

Duplex stainless steel pipes, plates, fittings, and forgings exhibit a microstructure comprising approximately equal parts of austenite and a ferrite matrix. This composition, in tandem with a general alloying level, imparts notable characteristics. These alloys exhibit high strength compared to standard austenitic steels like type 316L, ensuring robustness in various applications. Their corrosion resistance extends across diverse environments, making them well-suited for challenging conditions. Notably, they demonstrate elevated resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CSCC) and pitting attacks in chloride-rich environments, such as seawater. In the offshore oil/gas, chemical, and petrochemical process industries, these alloys find expanding applications, encompassing pipework systems, flowlines, risers, manifolds, and more. Additionally, the filler metal derived from these alloys is utilized for welding stainless structures requiring exceptionally high strength.

Alloy Type

22%Cr standard ferritic-austenitic duplex stainless steels.

Microstructure

Multipass welds in the as-welded condition contain about 25–50% ferrite depending on dilution and heat input/cooling rate conditions.

Welding & PWHT

Preheating is typically considered unnecessary in welding processes, and adherence to a maximum interpass temperature of 150°C is recommended. The acceptable range for heat input falls within 1.0–2.5 kJ/mm, contingent on material thickness, though certain codes impose more stringent limits, often capping it at 1.75 or 2.0 kJ/mm. While welds in wrought duplex stainless steels are commonly left in the as-welded condition, substantial repairs to castings are typically specified in the solution-treated state. Experience in the field has consistently demonstrated favorable material properties when employing a treatment regimen involving exposure to 1120°C for 3-6 hours, followed by a water quenching process. In some instances, incorporating an additional cooling step to 1060°C before quenching has shown promising results in further enhancing the structural characteristics and overall performance of the welded components.
