Forging, Heat Treatment & Quality Inspection Protocols

Forging & Thermal Processing

Flanges in Duplex 2205 Flanges are manufactured via precision closed-die or open-die forging to establish continuous metallurgical grain flow along the flange hub and neck contour. Raw billets are heated in calibrated gas-fired furnaces under strictly controlled soak temperatures to eliminate microstructural defects.

Depending on the alloy grade, components undergo certified thermal conditioning: normalizing for carbon steels (A105N, A350 LF2), rapid water quench solution annealing at 1040°C–1120°C for stainless and duplex grades, or controlled aging for nickel superalloys. This ensures exceptional notch toughness, yield strength, and resistance to stress corrosion cracking.

Dimensional Tolerances & Certification

Final machining is executed on heavy-duty CNC turning centers to guarantee precise raised face, flat face, or ring type joint (RTJ) dimensions compliant with ASME B16.5, ASME B16.47, DIN, or EN 1092-1 standards. Gasket contact surfaces receive spiral or concentric serrations strictly controlled between 125 and 250 µin Ra.

Every production heat is issued with an EN 10204 Type 3.1 inspection certificate containing full heat chemistry, mechanical tensile test data, and Charpy impact values. Independent Third-Party Inspection (TPI) by Lloyd's, BV, DNV-GL, TÜV, and SGS is readily accommodated for global EPC and refinery contracts.

Frequently Asked Procurement Questions

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for Duplex 2205?

A: Duplex 2205 is limited to 315°C (600°F). Sustained operation above 300-315°C leads to embrittlement due to 475°C phase precipitation and sigma phase formation.
