Corrosion Resitance
1. Due to its high chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen content, Duplex 2205 demonstrates superior corrosion resistant properties to 316 and 316L in most environments
2. Chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen content also provide high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, even in oxidizing and acidic solutions
3. Resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking and temperatures of up to about 302°F (150°C)
4. The presence of ferrite provides for good performance of Duplex 2205 in caustic environments
Heat Resitance
1. Similar to other duplex stainless steels, Duplex 2205 has good oxidation resistance at high temperatures
2. Subject to embrittlement when exposed to temperatures above 572°F (300°C) even when exposed for short periods of time; Duplex 2205 is therefore not recommended for use above 572°F (300°C)
The use of 2205 Duplex Polished Stainless Steel Flat Bar in food processing equipment is extensive, including but not limited to:
