Manufacturing Process of Duplex 2205 Plates & Sheets
Duplex 2205 stainless steel plates & sheets undergo processing to ensure optimal strength, corrosion resistance & dimensional accuracy. The manufacturing process includes hot forming, cold forming, heat treatment, machining & welding to preserve the alloy unique dual-phase microstructure.
Hot Forming
Duplex 2205 plates are hot-formed between 1750°F to 2250°F to avoid cracking and ensure easy shaping. Post-forming, a solution annealing treatment at 1900°F minimum followed by rapid quenching is essential to restore corrosion resistance and phase balance.
Cold Forming
The material is well-suited for cold forming using stainless-steel-compatible equipment. Due to its high strength, higher force & allowance for spring back are required compared to standard austenitic grades.
Machinability
Duplex 2205 can be machined similarly to 316L stainless steel but with 20% lower cutting speeds when using carbide tools. Rigid tool setups & powerful machines are recommended for best results and longer tool life.
Welding
This alloy offers excellent weldability using common techniques like TIG, MIG, SMAW, SAW & FCAW. To ensure weld strength & corrosion resistance. Post-weld annealing is usually not required but may be recommended for critical applications.
| Type | Typical Base Metal Composition | Grade | UNS No. | GMAW / SAW / GTAWAutrod / Tigrod | FCAW |
| Duplex | 23Cr, 4Ni, 0.10N | (SAF) 2304, UR35N | S32304/ 1.4362 | ER2209 | SB 2209 |
| Duplex | 22Cr, 5.5Ni, 3Mo, 0.15N | (SAF) 2205, UR45N | S31803 /1.4462 S32205 | ER2209 | SB 220 |
Heat Treatment
All processing steps involving heat must be followed by a full solution anneal at 1900°F & rapid cooling to prevent intermetallic phase formation. Stress relieving at lower temperatures is not advised due to the risk of reduced corrosion resistance.
| Annealing | Forging |
| 1010 – 1120°C | 900 – 1200°C |
