S31803 S32205 2205 vs 316L






Choose S31803/S32205 and 316L (Urea Grade) be the trial grade, compare each property of duplex stainless steel and austenitic stainless steel. So as to, based on acquaintance of 316L steel, understanding of mechanical properties and corrosion properties of duplex steel.

Since chromium can naturally form a thin protective film of passivation on the surface of stainless steel, stainless steel has corrosion resistance. Molybdenum makes this passivation film stronger and allows it to be rapidly regenerated when the passivation film is destroyed by chloride. An increase in the molybdenum content increases the pitting corrosion resistance and crevice corrosion resistance of the stainless steel.

316L (2% to 3% Mo) is the most widely used molybdenum-containing stainless steel. It is designated as a tank, pipe and heat exchanger material for food processing and pharmaceutical production. Increased molybdenum content enhances resistance to chloride in the air, so Type 316 can be used as a material of choice for offshore and coastal buildings. 316L is used to cover the Canary Wharf building in London and the tallest building in the world - the outer layer of the Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

S32205 Duplex stainless steel (3.0% to 4.0% Mo) has high strength and excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking. Multipurpose stainless steel, originally used as a fluid flow tube in the oil and gas industry, is now more used in the chemical processing and petrochemical industries and as a digester in the pulp and paper industry.

Table 9 dates show the metallographic structure of this heat number steel reasonable. Prove that the steelmaking technology control the chemical analysis very strictly.

6.Intergranular Corrosion Resistance Property
In order to test the intergranular corrosion resistance property of 316L(UG), according to Stamicarbon standard of 316L (UG), do the compare test of S31803/S32205 and 316L(UG). All the trial is solution annealing, Test 5 cycles in the 65 ±0.2% HNO3 boiling solution,every cycle is 48 hours, result show as below:

Huey Test is a general way for test corrosion resistance stainless steel for Urea. The weight loss per unit area is measured after each of five 48-hour boils in 65 percent nitric acid. The test results are calculated to and reported as the average corrosive rate of the five boils in inches per month (ipm) corrosion rates. The test is used to determine the suitability of a material for nitric acid service. Since most of the weight loss is due to intergranular attach, the Huey test is commonly used as an indication of the resistance of a stainless steel to intergranular corrosion.

Huey test is very strictly, if the chemical analysis control not very well, steelmaking quality is bad, it is very hard to pass the test. 316L(UG) request 5 cycles average corrosive rate less than ≤3.3 μm/48h。According to the test result,S32205/S31803 not only meet the request,But meet the request of 25-22-2(2RE69)austenitic stainless steel average corrosive rate≤1.5 μm/48h, better than 316L(UG),special from cycle 5,S32205/S31803 average corrosive rate far lower than 316L (UG),show the S32205/S31803 chemical analysis is well and steelmaking quality is good.
