Application
Duplex Stainless 2205 seam welded pressure tubing in the heat treated condition is typically used in oil and natural gas wells for chemical injection applications. In such applications, it is commonly referred to as capillary tubing and is free-hanging (self-supporting) inside the production casing. The chemicals being injected are often used to enhance production flow rates, inhibit corrosion or scaling and/or de-water. However, the tubing can also be used for control line tubing applications including hydraulically actuated surface-controlled subsurface safety valves. For control line applications, the tubing is generally deployed by strapping it to the outside of the production casing. The tubing is frequently supplied as 5,000 to 35,000 ft. coils on a wooden or steel reel, depending on size.
Description
Duplex Stainless 2205 is a duplex stainless steel. When properly heat treated, the microstructure consists of a nearly equal mixture of the austenitic and ferrite phases. This two-phase microstructure produces a fine grain size which increases the yield strength. In the final heat treated condition, Duplex Stainless S31803 can achieve a yield strength approximately twice that of austenitic alloys such as 316L, 825 and 625 which must be cold worked to achieve comparable yield strengths. Duplex stainless steels are often classified as lean, conventional, super or hyper based upon their pitting resistance equivalent (PRE or PREN). Various PRE formulas are used to rank an alloy’s resistance to chloride pitting corrosion based upon its composition. Duplex Stainless 2205 typically has a PRE of 36 and is considered a conventional duplex stainless steel. Duplex Stainless 2205 is often selected for use in oil and gas production environments based upon its higher strength and resistance to pitting, crevice and stress corrosion cracking in chloride containing environments. Consult ISO 15156-3, Table A.24 for the limits regarding the use of Duplex Stainless 2205 in hydrogen sulfide containing environments for oil and gas production.
Corrosion Resistance
2205 duplex stainless steel is a cost effective solution for many applications where the 300 series stainless steels are susceptible to chloride stress corrosion cracking. Stress corrosion cracking occurs when stainless steels are subjected to tensile stress, while in contact with solutions containing chlorides. Increasing temperatures also increase the susceptibility of stainless steels to stress corrosion cracking.
The combination of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen convey the good resistance of Duplex 2205 to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion. This resistance is extremely important for services such as marine environments, brackish water, bleaching operations, closed loop water systems and some food processing applications. The high chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen contents of Duplex 2205 provide corrosion resistance superior to common stainless steels, such as, 316L and 317L in most environments.
Production Process
Welded & Redrawn Tubing
Strip splice welds join lengths of cold rolled strip to enable long lengths between orbital welds (greater than 14,500 ft between orbital welds is achievable). The strip is formed into a tubular cross section and longitudinally seam welded using the gas tungsten arc (GTAW) process. The tubing is first sunk to an intermediate outside diameter, heat treated, and make the same process to obtain the desired size.
Seamless & Redrawn Tubing
Seamless extruded tube hollows are drawn or drawn / sunk to final size to produce seamless tubing coils 500 to 2,000 ft. long, depending upon the size. The tubing is heat treated and joined by orbital welding to achieve the desired length. The final material condition of the tubing is heat treated.
