Duplex stainless steel
2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
2205 is a duplex stainless steel that combines higher strength than common austenitic grades with resistance to several chloride-related corrosion mechanisms. Successful use depends on the service environment, product standard, fabrication controls and heat treatment condition.
Final material selection remains the responsibility of the project design authority. Confirm product form, governing standard and current availability with sales.
