Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 is a mixed microstructure of austenite and ferrite (50/50) which has improved strength over ferritic and austenitic stainless steel grades with similar corrosion resistance qualities.
One of the main attractions of duplex stainless steel is cost – due to the materials increased yield strength it is often possible to reduce the thickness of material making it much cheaper than a comparative austenitic stainless steel grade.
Also Duplex stainless steel has a lower alloy content reduces production costs. Certainly cost and weight savings without loss of performance is an attractive proposition to purchasers.
Benefits of using UNS32205 Duplex Stainless Steel 2205
Corrosion resistance much better than that of Type 316
Greater tensile and yield strength
Good ductility and toughness though not as good as austenitic grades
Good stress corrosion cracking resistance (SSC)
Opportunity for purchases to reduce their material costs without compromising on quality
