Alloy Wire International
Datasheet: Duplex
Duplex
Duplex stainless steels are magnetic and are far more corrosion resistant than more commonly used stainless grades, i.e. 302 and 316.
Duplex is also known as Duplex 2205 and Cronifer 2205 LCN.
Available in all profile options
Key Features
Greater corrosion resistance than stainless steel 300 series.
Greater pitting resistance and uniform corrosion resistance to stress corrosion cracking than stainless steel 300 series.
Good weldability.
Typical Applications
Chemical processing
Oil and gas refining
Marine environments
Pollution control equipment
