2205 stainless steel, a duplex stainless steel, combines austenitic and ferritic qualities, offering superior strength and excellent corrosion resistance, especially against pitting and crevice corrosion. Comprising about 22% chromium, 5% nickel, and 3% molybdenum, it exhibits higher resistance to corrosion and cracking than traditional austenitic grades. Ideal for harsh chloride environments, such as in marine, oil and gas industries, and chemical processing, 2205 is also used in pollution control equipment and high-strength structural components. This grade’s blend of strength and resistance to corrosion makes it a preferred choice for challenging industrial applications requiring durability and longevity.
