Metrode Supercore 2205P

Welding Consumables

Supercore 2205P is an all-position flux cored wire for welding

22% Cr standard duplex ferritic austenitic stainless steels.
Duplex stainless steel pipe, plate, fittings and forgings have an
approximate 50:50 microstructure of austenite with a ferrite
matrix. This, coupled with general alloying level, confers:
High strength compared with standard austenitic steels,
e.g. type 316L
Good general corrosion resistance in a range of
environments
High resistance to chloride induced stress corrosion
cracking (CSCC)
High resistance to pitting attack in chloride environments,
e.g. seawater.
These alloys are finding widening application in the offshore oil/
gas, chemical and petrochemical process industries, e.g. pipework
systems, flow-lines, risers, manifolds, etc.
