Duplex stainless steels (2205, 2507) offer superior strength and corrosion resistance in harsh subsea environments, making them ideal for offshore oil and gas pipelines.
-
High Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN ≥ 35): Duplex stainless steels outperform 316L in seawater environments due to high chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen content.
-
High Strength, Reduced Weight: 2205 duplex steel has a yield strength twice that of 316L, allowing for thinner walls and weight savings in subsea pipelines.
-
Welding Challenges: Duplex steels require ER2209 filler metal to maintain the correct ferrite-to-austenite phase balance, and heat input must be strictly controlled to avoid sigma phase formation.
