ALLOY DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION;
2209 is a duplex stainless steel with about 22% chromium used for
welding matching or similar alloys found in ASTM A182, A276, A329, UNS S31803(F51), S32205
(F60), 2003, 2101, 2205, 2304 (35N), 44LN, UR 45N, A903, 4462, 19035C, AF22, 223, 3RE60,
NKCr22, SM22Cr. Also found when welding dissimilar base metals such as 25Cr & Super duplex to
304 or 316 types of stainless steels. Interpass temperature 300° F max and heat input of 10-30 kJ/in.;
Heat Input = Voltage x Amperage x 6 ٪Travel Speed (inch/Minute) x 100. Weld metal should have
very good resistance to stress corrosion cracking and pitting with an austenite & 30-50 % ferrite
matrix. STAINLESS STEELS MAY REQUIRE PICKING TO RESTORE CORROSION RESISTANCE
