Home > Duplex Steel > Duplex Steel 2205 Sheet and Plates
Duplex Steel 2205 sheets and plates are top-notch stainless steel products that boast a unique dual-phase microstructure made up of austenite and ferrite. This special structure gives them an impressive mix of mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion, making them perfect for tough industrial tasks. They stand up remarkably well against pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking caused by chlorides, all while providing outstanding toughness and thermal stability. You’ll find these sheets and plates commonly used in industries like chemical processing, petrochemicals, oil and gas, marine, and power generation.
Typically, the makeup of Duplex Steel 2205 sheets and plates includes 22–25% chromium, 4–7% nickel, 2–3% molybdenum, and nitrogen, all of which boost their corrosion resistance and mechanical performance. They deliver tensile strength between 620–850 MPa and yield strength around 450–550 MPa, along with excellent ductility, toughness, and fatigue resistance. The balanced duplex microstructure also helps them resist intergranular corrosion and maintain stability at high temperatures, making them a reliable choice for structural and process-critical applications.
