Duplex & Super Duplex Steel Socket Weld

An engineered stainless steel known for its high yield strength & decent corrosion resistance

• High Strength - About 2x stronger yield than 316 stainless steel
• Super Duplex - Decent general corrosion & cracking resistance
• Duplex Grades: Duplex 2205, Super Duplex 2507, Zeron 100
• Datasheets for Super Duplex 2507 and Duplex 2205

Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 stainless steel socket weld flanges are characterized by their high yield strength, which is twice that of the annealed yield strength of typical austenitic stainless steels, like 304 and 316 stainless steel socket weld flanges. Because of this, Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 steel are some of the most common grades of duplex used for socket weld flanges with Super Duplex 2507 socket weld flanges being the more corrosion resistant grade of the two.

Super Duplex 2507 socket weld flanges improved corrosion resistance lends itself well too applications prone to stress-corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion, pitting, erosion and general corrosion. Because of the properties of Duplex and Super Duplex stainless steel socket weld flanges are often used in chemical processing, petrochemicals, power industry and seawater equipment.

Usage of both Duplex and Super Duplex stainless steel should be limited to temperatures below 570° F as extended elevated temperature exposure can embrittle this material.

The most common grades of Duplex flanges are Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507. Gain more insight on these two grades by accessing our Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 overviews or by contacting our engineering experts.

Duplex Alloy 2205 

Duplex 2205, UNS S32205, is a stainless steel material, whose “Duplex” name is derived from the mixed microstructure which contains roughly equal portions of ferrite and austenite. This grade is the most popular variety and this two-phase material is a significant upgrade from 316 stainless steel in terms of both yield strength and corrosion resistance.

Duplex and Super Duplex Hex Head Bolt Features and Benefits

It is important to differentiate between a Duplex hex head bolt and hex head cap screw. Often people assume they are the same, but they are actually very different fasteners in terms of how they are manufactured, as well as from an application perspective. Regardless of your choice, Duplex and Super Duplex hex heads offer strong, stable joints because of their large head service.

Duplex Set Screw Features & Benefits

Duplex set screws are unique in that they have no screw head, meaning that they have no protruding part past the threaded shaft. They are thread only and are available with a socket or slotted driver insert at one end. Set screws are used to secure an object within or against another object. Typically they secure a rotating part such as a gear or shaft. Duplex set screws are driven through a threaded hole in the rotating part until it is tight against the inner object, preventing from moving relative to the outer object. Set screws are available with various points depending on the application.

Cup Point 
This is the most commonly used set screw and is identified by a cup-shaped indentation on one end. Duplex cup points are typically used for a quick, semi-permanent or permanent applications where it is acceptable to cut the cup point edge of the screw.

Cone Point
A cone point is easily identifiable by its sharp cone-shaped point – just like an ice cream cone. Duplex cone point set screws deliver the strongest clamping force due to the deep penetration of the point. As a result they are used for permanent assembly.

Flat Point
The cheapest and simplest of the set screw point styles, this screw has a flat surface on the bottom of the screw. This type is used when you need the ability to frequently change parts and require minimal shaft deformation.
