Stainless Steel 2205
Stainless steel 2205 is a popular grade of duplex stainless steel, highly regarded for its outstanding corrosion resistance. Discover more about 2205 stainless steel alloy from your leading stainless steel 2205 supplier, Arbor Metals.
Characteristics of Stainless Steel 2205
2205 stainless steel has a chemical makeup of:
- Iron: 64% to 67%
- Chromium: 22% to 23%
- Nickel: 5% to 6%
- Molybdenum: 3% to 3.5%
It also contains small amounts of manganese, silicon, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous. 2205 steel has a maximum Brinell hardness of 31 HRC and minimum tensile and yield strengths of 95 ksi and 65 ksi, respectively. A quality 2205 stainless steel manufacturer can supply you with any additional specifications so that you can determine if 2205 is the best choice for your project.
Benefits of 2205 Stainless Steel Alloy
Annealed stainless steel 2205 plate has a balanced microstructure of ferrite and austenite with the following benefits:
- Corrosion resistance: Resistant to stress corrosion cracking, erosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion in severe conditions
- Thermal stability: Maintains mechanical properties from -40 F to 600 F
- High strength: Double the yield strength of typical austenitic steel grades
- Cost-effectiveness: High strength-to-weight ratio for less material usage
