Corrosion Resistant
Duplex Steel 2205 is Excellent general corrosion resistance; superior to Grade 316 in most environments. Excellent resistance to localized corrosion including inter granular, pitting and crevice corrosion. Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 is a cost effective solution for many applications where the 300 series stainless steels are susceptible to chloride stress corrosion cracking. Stress corrosion cracking occurs when stainless steels are subjected to tensile stress, while in contact with solutions containing chlorides. Increasing temperatures also increase the susceptibility of stainless steels to stress corrosion cracking.
