2205 Duplex stainless steel, which has a microstructure that contains both austenite and ferrite phases, and has an excellent combination of strength and corrosion resistance.
In the annealed condition 2205 Duplex has twice the annealed strength of a typical austenitic stainless steel, like 304 and 316 Stainless.
Applications: 2205 duplex stainless steels have been used in oil and gas, pumps and pump parts, valves, chemical and paper manufacturing.
