ASTM A928 CL.1 Super Duplex Steel Welded Pipes S32750 S32205 S31254
Key Features of ASTM A928 Pipes
- Manufacturing Process:
- Electric Fusion Welding (EFW) with filler metal added (e.g., SAW, TIG).
Welds are heat-treated to restore duplex microstructure and corrosion resistance.
- Testing Requirements:
- Hydrostatic Testing: Mandatory for all pipes.
- Non-Destructive Examination (NDE): Radiography or ultrasonic testing for welds.
- Mechanical Testing: Tensile, hardness, and impact tests.
Classes of ASTM A928 Welded / EFW Pipe
Class type | Welding | Filler Metal | Radiography Test |
---|---|---|---|
ASTM A928 Class 1 | Double welded with filler metal | Yes | 100% |
ASTM A928 Class 2 | Double welded with filler metal | Yes | NA |
ASTM A928 Class 3 | Single welded with filler metal | Yes | 100% |
ASTM A928 Class 4 | Single Welded without addition filler metal | Without filler (Root pass to be done) | 100% |
ASTM A928 Class 5 | Double welded with filler metal | Yes | Spot |
Duplex Stainless Steel have a structure that contains both ferrite and austenite.
Duplex alloys have higher strength and better stress corrosion cracking resistance than most austenitic alloys and greater toughness than ferritic alloys, especially at low temperatures.
The corrosion resistance of duplex alloys depends primarily on their composition, especially the amount of chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen they contain.
