Duplex 2205 stainless steel is composed of ferrite and austenite, so it is called "duplex". The strength of duplex steel is about twice that of austenitic and ferritic stainless steel. Despite their high strength, duplex 2205 steel shows good plasticity and toughness. The toughness and ductility of duplex 2205 are significantly better than ferritic stainless steel and carbon steel, and it still maintains good toughness even at low temperatures. JN Duplex Steel 2205 products are as follows:
UNS S31803, S32205, F51, F60
ASTM A 182, A 240, A 276, A 479, A 789, A 790, A 815
ASME SA 182, SA 240, SA 479, SA 789

In most environments, duplex 2205 stainless steel has high corrosion resistance. Due to its high chromium content, which performs well in oxidizing acids, and contains enough molybdenum and nickel to resist corrosion in reducing acids. Duplex 2205 composition form:
Duplex 2205 Composition (%) | C | Si | Mn | P | S | Cr | Ni | Mo | N |
Standard | ≤0.03 | ≤1.00 | ≤2.00 | ≤0.04 | ≤0.03 | 21.0~24.0 | 4.5~6.5 | 2.5~3.5 | 0.08~0.2 |
Normal | 0.025 | 0.6 | 1.5 | 0.026 | 0.001 | 22.5 | 5.8 | 3.0 | 0.16 |
2205's high chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen make it very resistant to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion. They have different corrosion resistance, ranging from the corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel, such as economic duplex stainless steel 2101, to the corrosion resistance equivalent to SAF2507 stainless steel.
Duplex stainless steels are a austenitic-ferritic family of grades, not a single grade. They are standardized globally using systems like UNS and EN designations. Here's the main categories and grades:
Standard/Low-Alloy Duplex Steel: Alloy 316L alternative with better strength and chloride resistance, more cost-effecitive.
UNS S32205 / EN 1.4462 / Duplex F60 / 2205

Hot Forming
During hot forming, the entire workpiece should be heated as a whole, and carried out between 1750°F and 2250°F. 2205 stainless is very soft at this temperature. If the temperature is too high, 2205 stainless is prone to hot tearing. If it is lower than this temperature, the austenite will fracture. After hot forming, it should be immediately solution annealed at a temperature of 1900°F minimum and quenched to restore its phase balance, toughness and corrosion resistance.
Cold Forming
2205 Duplex Steel can be cut and cold formed. However, due to its high strength and hardness, 2205 requires more cold forming than austenitic steels, and because of its high strength, springback factors must be considered.
Heat Treatment
2205 stainless should be annealed at a temperature of 1900°F minimum, then rapidly cooled and water quenched. If processed at a temperature below 1900°F, it is easy to cause the precipitation of harmful metal or non-metal phases.
Machinability
On high-speed machine tools, the cutting speed of duplex 2205 stainless is the same as that of 316L. If a carburized knife is used, the cutting speed is reduced by about 20% compared to 316L.
Welding
The weldability of duplex steel 2205 stainless is very good. Welding 2205 stainless requires a welding procedure to maintain a good phase balance after welding to avoid the precipitation of harmful metal phases or non-metal phases.

The difference between duplex 2205 stainless steel and austenitic 304 stainless steel plate.
It has enough plastic toughness and a yield strength that is more than double that of 304. Duplex stainless steel storage tanks and pressure vessels have walls that are 30–50% thinner than those of austenite, which is more cost-effective.
It has outstanding resistance to cracking and corrosion. Compared to austenitic stainless steel, even the duplex stainless steel with the lowest alloy concentration is more resistant to stress corrosion cracking, particularly in environments with chloride particles.
Super duplex stainless steel has exceptionally strong corrosion resistance, and 2205 duplex stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance to 316L austenitic stainless steel. It can even take the place of high-alloy austenitic stainless steel in certain media, such acetic acid, formic acid, etc.
It resists local rusting well. Its fatigue corrosion resistance and wear corrosion resistance are superior to those of austenitic stainless steel with a comparable alloy composition.
It is likely connected to carbon steel since its linear expansion coefficient is near that of carbon steel and lower than that of austenitic stainless steel.
Compared to austenitic stainless steel, 2205 has a greater capacity to absorb energy, which helps structural components withstand sudden occurrences like crashes and explosions. Duplex stainless steel offers clear benefits and usefulness in real-world applications.
Oil and gas sector: Because of its exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion, 2205 SS is frequently utilized in oil well equipment, pipelines, and valves.
Chemical processing: Reactors, storage tanks, and pipes are made of SS 2205 duplex stainless steel for use in chemical processing equipment. Its duplex structure effectively prevents pitting and crevice corrosion, allowing it to function well in situations with strong acids.
Aerospace: 2205 grade stainless steel is mostly used in aviation for parts that need to be incredibly strong and resistant to corrosion, like engine and structural components.
Transportation and shipbuilding: 2205 duplex stainless steel is used in the shipbuilding sector to create hulls and other components that are exposed to the sea environment.
Environmental protection equipment: 2205 duplex stainless steel is also widely used in environmental protection equipment, such as wastewater treatment systems and gas desulfurization devices. Its corrosion fatigue resistance and stress corrosion resistance make it excellent in handling corrosive waste.
In short, 2205 duplex steel has many excellent properties and is a high-performance, multi-purpose stainless steel material. If you have any questions about 2205 stainless steel, inquire about 2205 stainless steel prices, or purchase 2205 stainless steel materials, please contact us.

Q: Can you weld 2205 to 316 stainless steel?
A: Yes, you can weld them together, but always use ER2209 filler metal. Regular 316 filler won’t work well because 2205 is stronger and more corrosion-resistant. The ER2209 filler creates a strong joint that balances both materials. Never weld them without filler metal – this makes weak spots and causes rust.
Q: How to weld 2205 duplex stainless steel?
A: When welding 2205 stainless steel, use low temperatures andcontrol the temperature well. First, weld quickly, let the metal cool below 150°C between passes. Always use pure argon gas to protect the weld area. After welding, clean off any dark colors with special acid paste. Only use ER2209 filler metal for strong, corrosion-resistant welds.
Q: Is 2205 duplex stainless steel magnetic?
A: Yes, 2205 duplex stainless steel is partly magnetic. This happens because it’s made of two types of structures mixed together. The magnetism is normal and doesn’t mean the steel is low quality or will rust easily. It still works well in seawater and chemicals.
