Duplex 2205 Stainless Steel Introduction
The yield strength of 2205 duplex stainless steel is more than twice that of ordinary austenitic stainless steel .
This feature enables designers to reduce weight when designing products, making this alloy more cost-effective than 316 and 317L.
2205 alloy is particularly suitable for the temperature range of -50°F/+600°F. For applications beyond this temperature range, this alloy can also be considered, but there are some limitations, especially when applied to welded structures.

Corrosion resistance
Uniform corrosion
Due to the chromium content (22%), molybdenum (3%) and nitrogen content (0.18%), the corrosion resistance of 2205 is better than 316L and 317L in most environments.
Local corrosion resistance
The content of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen in 2205 duplex stainless steel makes it highly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion in oxidizing and acidic solutions.
Stress corrosion resistance
The dual-phase microstructure of stainless steel helps to improve the stress corrosion cracking resistance of stainless steel. In the presence of certain temperature, strain, oxygen and chloride, austenitic stainless steel will undergo chloride stress corrosion. Because these conditions are not easy to control, the use of 304L, 316L and 317L is restricted in this regard.
Anti-corrosion fatigue
The high strength and corrosion resistance of 2205 duplex steel make it have high corrosion fatigue strength. Processing equipment is susceptible to corrosive environments and loading cycles, and the characteristics of the 2205 are very suitable for such applications.
Duplex 2205 Structure
The chemical composition of 2205 can obtain the ideal microstructure 50 α / 50 γ after 1900°/1922°F (1040°/1080°C) solution annealing treatment. If the heat treatment temperature is higher than 2000°F, it may cause an increase in the ferrite composition.Like other duplex stainless steels , 2205 alloy is susceptible to the precipitation of intermetallic phases. The intermetallic phase precipitates between 1300°F and 1800°F, and the precipitation rate is the fastest at 1600°F. Therefore, we need to test 2205 to ensure that there is no intermetallic phase. The test refers to ASTM A 923.
Thermoforming
We recommend that the forming should be done at temperatures below 600°F as much as possible. During the hot forming process, the entire workpiece should be heated as a whole, and should be carried out in the temperature range of 1750°F to 2250°F.
Alloy 2205 is very soft at this temperature. If the temperature is too high, 2205 alloy is prone to hot tearing. If it is lower than this temperature, austenite will fracture. Below 1700°F, the intermetallic phase will form quickly due to the influence of temperature and deformation.
After the hot forming is completed, it should be solid-solution annealed at a minimum temperature of 1900°F and quenched to restore its phase balance, toughness and corrosion resistance.
We do not recommend stress relief, but if you must do so, the material should be solid solution annealed at a minimum temperature of 1900°F, then quickly cooled and water quenched.
Cold forming
2205 alloy can be cut and cold formed. However, due to the high strength and hardness of 2205 alloy itself, it needs more cold forming than austenitic steel. It is also because of its high strength that the springback must be fully considered.
Heat treatment
Alloy 2205 should be annealed at a minimum temperature of 1900°F, then rapidly cooled and water quenched. This treatment is used for solution annealing and stress relief.
If the stress relief treatment is performed at a temperature lower than 1900°F, it is easy to cause the precipitation of harmful metallic or non-metallic phases.
Machinability
On high-speed machine tools, the feed rate and cutting speed of 2205 alloy are the same as those of 316L. If a carbonized knife is used, the cutting speed is reduced by about 20% compared with 316L. The performance of the machine and its components plays a key role here.
Welding
The weldability of 2205 alloy is very good. The required performance of 2205 alloy is that the weld metal and thermally deteriorated parts still maintain the same corrosion resistance, strength and toughness as the base metal.
The welding of 2205 is not difficult, but the welding procedure needs to be designed so that after welding, it can maintain a good phase balance and avoid the precipitation of harmful metal phases or non-metal phases.
2205 can be welded in the following equipment: GTAW (TIG); GMAW (MIG); SMAW (“stick” electrode); SAW; FCW; and PAW
Features:
1. 2205 duplex stainless steel alloy as compared with austenitic stainless steel 316L and 317L, 2205 superior performance in resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion aspect, it has a high corrosion resistance, as compared with austenite, it The coefficient of thermal expansion is lower and the thermal conductivity is higher.
2. Compared with austenitic stainless steel, duplex stainless steel 2205 alloy has twice its compressive strength. Compared with 316L and 317L, the designer can reduce its weight. Alloy 2205 is especially suitable for the temperature range of -50°F/+600°F. Under strict restrictions (especially for welded structures), it can also be used at lower temperatures.
