GENERAL PROPERTIES

Duplex 2205 is a two-phase, ferritic, austenitic stainless steel alloyed with 22% chromium, 3% molybdenum, and 5-6% nickel. It is the most commonly used duplex stainless steel grade, with a yield strength that is double that of normal austenitic grades. It also has exceptional fatigue strength and excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, crevice, pitting, erosion, and general corrosion in harsh conditions.

APPLICATIONS

• Chemical processing, transport and storage – pressure vessels, tanks, piping, and heat exchangers
• Oil and gas exploration and processing equipment – piping, tubing, and heat exchangers
• Marine and other high chloride environments
• Effluent scrubbing systems
• Pulp and paper industry – digesters, bleaching equipment, and stock-handling systems
• Cargo tanks for ships and trucks
• Food processing equipment
• Biofuels plants

STANDARDS

• ASTM/ASME: A240 UNS S32205/S31803
• EURONORM: 1.4462 X2CrNiMoN 22.5.3
• AFNOR: Z3 CrNi 22.05 AZ
• DIN: W.Nr 1.4462

CORROSION RESISTANCE

• Due to its high chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen content, Duplex 2205 demonstrates superior corrosion resistant properties to 316 and 316L in most environments
• Chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen content also provide high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, even in oxidizing and acidic solutions
• Resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking and temperatures of up to about 302°F (150°C)
• The presence of ferrite provides for good performance of Duplex 2205 in caustic environments

HEAT RESISTANCE

• Similar to other duplex stainless steels, Duplex 2205 has good oxidation resistance at high temperatures
• Subject to embrittlement when exposed to temperatures above 572°F (300°C) even when exposed for short periods of time; Duplex 2205 is therefore not recommended for use above 572°F (300°C)

WELDING CHARACTERISTICS

• Possesses good weldability
• Should not generally be welded without filler metal as this may result in excessive ferrite

HEAT TREATMENT

• Annealing temperature range is 1868 to 2012°F (1020 to 1100°C)
• Cannot be hardened by heat treatment – but Duplex 2205 does work-harden
• Special consideration is needed to compensate for a higher coefficient of thermal expansion to avoid warping and distortion

PROCESSING – HOT FORMING

• Most Duplex 2205 producers recommend a maximum hot forming temperature between 2010 and 2100°F (1100 to 1150°C). If the shape of the work piece is not compact, the edges may be significantly cooler than the bulk, and there is risk of cracking in the cooler regions.

PROCESSING – COLD FORMING

• Duplex 2205 has shown good formability in a variety of fabrications. The high strength of Duplex 2205 can pose problems. Even when the equipment has sufficient power, allowance must be made for higher spring-back caused by the grade’s high strength.

MACHINABILITY

Duplex 2205 is slightly more difficult to process than the 300 series austenitic stainless steels. Higher cutting forces are required, which results in faster tool wear. Some machining guidelines are as follows: A) Use powerful, rigid machines with extremely strong rigid mounting of tools and work piece, B) Minimise vibration by keeping the tool extension as short as possible, C) Use a nose radius on the tool, no longer than necessary, for carbides with a sharp edge while still providing adequate strength, and D) Design machining sequences to always provide for a depth of cut below the work hardened layer resulting from previous passes.

Features of 2205 stainless steel coils

• Type 2205 is a duplex (austenitic/ferritic) stainless steel alloyed with chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen, which improves performance and corrosion resistance when compared to 304 and 316 stainless steel. The alloy’s dispersed austenite/ferrite microstructure, together with the alloying additives, offers resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and chlorine-induced crevice corrosion. Alloy 2205 has acceptable oxidation resistance up to 980°C, but only for specified applications because the material can become brittle when subjected to temperatures ranging from 300°C to 1000°C over extended durations. Type 2205 stainless steel strip, coil, and sheet can be used for a wide range of applications.

What are the commonly used surfaces of stainless steel coils?

The surface finish of 201 stainless steel coil might vary depending on the cold rolling processing methods used and the surface treatment used after rolling. Surface treatments for stainless steel coils include NO.1, 2B, 4, HL, 6, 8, BA, TR hard, heavy rolling bright 2H, polished bright, and other surface treatments:

• NO.1: The surface obtained after hot rolling, heat treatment and pickling of stainless steel strip. It is used to remove the black oxide scale formed by pickling or similar processes during hot rolling and heat treatment. It ranks first in surface treatment. The No. 1 surface is silvery white and matte. It is generally used in heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant industries that do not require high surface gloss, such as the alcohol industry, chemical industry, large containers, etc.
• 2B: Unlike the 2D surface, the 2B surface is smoothed by a light roller, and the surface is brighter. The surface roughness Ra value measured by the equipment ranges from 0.1 to 0.5μm, which is a typical value for most processing types. This stainless steel strip surface has the strongest adaptability and is suitable for industries such as chemical, papermaking, petroleum, medical, and a wide range of fields such as building curtain walls.
• TR hard surface: TR stainless steel is also called hard steel. Its characteristic steel grades include 304 and 301, which are used for items that require high strength and hardness, such as railway vehicles, conveyor belts, springs and washers. The idea is to use the work hardening characteristics of austenitic stainless steel to improve the strength and hardness of steel coils through cold working methods such as rolling. In order to replace the gentle flatness of the 2B base surface, the hard material is gently rolled by a few percent to tens of percent, and no annealing is performed after rolling. Therefore, the TR hard surface of the hard material is the rolled surface after the cold rolling process.
• Re-rolled bright 2H: After the rolling operation, the stainless steel strip will be bright annealed. A continuous annealing line can be used to quickly cool the strip. The stainless steel strip travels along the line at a speed of 60-80m/min. After this process, the surface finish will be 2H re-rolled bright.
• No. 4: The No. 4 surface has a good polishing effect and is brighter than No. 3. It can also be obtained by polishing the cold-rolled stainless steel coil with a 2D or 2B surface, and then polishing the processed surface with a sanding belt with a particle size of 150-180#. The tool measures the surface roughness (Ra) between 0.2 and 1.5μm. The No. 4 surface is widely used in restaurants and cooking equipment, medical equipment, architectural decoration, containers and other applications.
• HL: The HL surface is often called a hairline finish. The Japanese JIS standard specifies a continuous hairline abrasive surface obtained by polishing with a 150-240# abrasive belt. The restrictions under the Chinese GB3280 standard are unclear. HL surface finish is commonly used for architectural decoration, such as elevators, escalators, and exterior walls.
• No. 6: The No. 6 surface is further polished on the basis of No. 4 with a Tampico brush or a W63 grit abrasive material specified in the GB2477 standard. The surface has good metallic luster, softness, weak reflection, and no imaging. Due to its good performance, it is very suitable for curtain walls, tassel decoration, and cooking supplies.
• BA: BA is a surface that is brightly heat treated after cold rolling. Bright heat treatment is annealing in a protective atmosphere to ensure that the surface is not oxidized and retain the gloss of the cold-rolled surface, and then it is polished with a high-precision smooth roller to improve the surface brightness. The instrument evaluates the surface roughness to be 0.05-0.1μm, indicating that the surface is close to a mirror surface. BA surfaces can be used in a variety of applications, including food utensils, household appliances, medical equipment, automotive parts, and decorations.
• No. 8: Mirror surface, maximum reflectivity, no abrasive particles. The stainless steel deep processing industry also refers to 8K board. BA material is often used as raw material for mirror processing. It only needs to be polished. The surface is beautiful after mirror processing and is often used in building entrances and interior decoration.
