Duplex 2205 Sheet​

Thickness 4-30mm, strength is twice that of 304, marine engineering structure

High-Strength Duplex Stainless Steel Sheet, Combining Superior Corrosion Resistance with Structural Strength, Ideal for Demanding Offshore Platforms and Chemical Vessels

  • High Strength

    Strength-to-weight ratio is 1.8 times that of 304, enabling 30% structural weight reduction and lowering transportation and installation costs.

  • Corrosion Resistance

    Twice the pitting resistance of 316L in seawater chloride (30000ppm), ideal for marine environments.

  • Fatigue Resistance

    Fatigue strength ≥280MPa (10⁷ cycles), outperforming conventional stainless steels and suitable for dynamic load applications.

Product Specifications

Chemical Composition
Element Content (%) Role in Duplex Stainless Steel
Cr 21.0–23.0 Forms passive film, enhances corrosion resistance, synergizes with Mo to improve pitting resistance.
Ni 4.5–6.5 Stabilizes austenite phase, ensures toughness, balances ferrite-austenite ratio at ~50:50 for optimal performance.
Mo 2.0–3.0 Enhances chloride corrosion resistance, contributes to PREN = Cr% + 3.3×Mo% + 16×N% ≥34.
N 0.14–0.20 Provides interstitial strengthening, improves strength and corrosion resistance, suppresses intergranular corrosion.

FAQ

What makes duplex 2205 different from austenitic stainless steel?

Duplex 2205 has a mixed austenitic-ferritic structure, offering higher strength and better stress corrosion cracking resistance.

What are typical applications of duplex 2205 sheets?

They are commonly used in offshore structures, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and chemical tanks.

Does duplex 2205 offer better strength than 316L?

Yes. Duplex 2205 typically has nearly twice the yield strength of 316L stainless steel.

Is duplex 2205 sheet corrosion resistant?

Yes. It provides excellent resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion.

Can duplex 2205 sheets be customized for industrial projects?

Yes. Custom thickness, width, surface finish, and inspection options are available.
