022Cr25Ni7Mo4N Super Duplex Stainless Steel Plate/Coil Introduction
022Cr25Ni7Mo4N (UNS designation S25073) is a super duplex stainless steel combining high chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and nitrogen. It exhibits a balanced austenitic-ferritic microstructure that delivers exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking in chloride-containing environments. Due to its low carbon content, it offers good weldability and high strength. The alloy is supplied as hot-rolled plate and coil per GB/T 4237, typically in solution-annealed and pickled or bright-annealed condition. It is widely used in aggressive chemical processing, marine systems, oil and gas production, and heat exchangers where high mechanical strength and superior corrosion resistance are required.

The chemical composition of 022Cr25Ni7Mo4N as specified in GB/T 4237 and referenced from GB/T 20878. The alloy is characterized by high chromium and molybdenum contents, balanced nickel, and deliberate nitrogen addition to stabilize the dual-phase structure and enhance corrosion resistance. Residual elements are strictly controlled to ensure optimal properties.

Processed into products: Tube sheets for shell-and-tube heat exchangers, Impellers and diffuser rings for centrifugal pumps, Shaped plates for desalination brine heaters, Weld overlay components for corrosion protection, Fasteners (bolts, nuts) for critical bolting applications (sour service), Separator internals in oil-water separation vessels
Application industries: Oil & Gas (offshore platforms, subsea equipment, pipelines), Chemical and Petrochemical Processing, Marine Engineering and Shipbuilding, Desalination Plants, Pulp and Paper Industry, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) – heat exchangers, Pharmaceutical and Food Processing (high-chloride environments)
022Cr25Ni7Mo4N Super Duplex Stainless Steel Plate/Coil Similar or Alternative Material Recommendations
| Country/Region | Standard | Grade | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| China / International | GB/T 4237 / ASTM A240 | 022Cr25Ni7Mo4WCuN (S32760) | Contains extra Cu and W; higher pitting resistance; slightly different welding behavior |
| Europe | EN 10088-2 | X2CrNiMoCuWN25-7-4 (1.4501) | Equivalent to S32760; used in similar aggressive environments |
| China | GB/T 4237 | 022Cr23Ni5Mo3N (S22053) | Leaner duplex 2205; lower strength and corrosion resistance; cost-effective for less severe conditions |
Notes:
Special considerations:
- For thickness > 75 mm, mechanical properties may slightly decrease; consult manufacturer.
- Welding must use matching filler metal (e.g., AWS ER2594) and maintain interpass temperature below 150 °C.
- Post-weld heat treatment (solution annealing at ~1050–1120 °C followed by rapid quenching) is essential to restore corrosion resistance.
- This grade is included in NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 for H₂S service up to certain hardness and temperature limits; verify for specific sour environments.
- When ordering, specify cold forming requirements; excessive cold work may require intermediate annealing.
