Description

Rutile 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 rutile coating ensures excellent weldability in all positions, except for vertical down, and a high resistance to cracking providing smooth arc transfer.

Description

Application

The 2209 subfamily is used in pipes, plates, fittings, and forgings made from duplex stainless steel. This type of steel has a microstructure composed of about 50% austenite with a ferritic matrix. This composition, together with the general level of alloying, ensures superior strength compared to conventional austenitic steels, such as type 316L. It also offers excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments, along with notable resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CSCC) and pitting attack in chlorinated environments, such as seawater. These characteristics make the alloys particularly appreciated in offshore applications in the oil, gas, chemical, and petrochemical sectors, including piping systems, flow lines, risers, and manifolds.

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

Generally, preheating is not necessary for welding. It is advisable to maintain a maximum interpass temperature of 150 °C. The heat input should be between 1.0 and 2.5 kJ/mm, depending on the material thickness; however, some codes limit the value to a maximum of 1.75 or 2.0 kJ/mm. Although welds on duplex stainless steels are almost always left as-welded, solution treatment is generally required for major repairs on castings. Studies and experience have shown that a water quench treatment at 1120 °C for 3-6 hours, with or without a cooling step at 1060 °C before quenching, imparts excellent metallurgical properties.
