UNS S32205 Duplex 2205 Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe
What are 2205 stainless steel used for?
Applications: Chemical processing, transportation, and storage-pressure vessels, tanks, piping, and heat exchangers. Oil and gas exploration and processing equipment-piping, tubing, and heat exchangers. Marine and other high-chloride environments.
What are the specifications for 2205 duplex stainless steel pipe?
2205 duplex stainless steel is a duplex, ferritic, austenitic stainless steel alloy containing 22% chromium, 3% molybdenum, and 5-6% nickel. It is the most widely used duplex stainless steel grade, characterized by its high yield strength, which is twice that of standard austenitic grades.

UNS S32205 duplex 2205 stainless steel seamless pipe offers greater strength and corrosion resistance than standard stainless steel, making it ideal for harsh environments such as offshore operations, chemical processing, and desalination plants. Its unique microstructure, combining ferrite and austenite, provides excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion. Fabrication requires higher-capacity equipment, and proper welding procedures and post-weld cleaning are crucial to prevent contamination and maintain the integrity of the alloy.
