Austenitic and ferritic phases are both present in stainless steel 2205 sheet. High strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and ease of welding are among the positive qualities that this combination offers from both varieties of stainless steel. It is one of the most often used duplex grades, especially in situations where high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion are crucial.
Better Corrosion Resistance: The corrosion resistance, especially towards pitting and crevice of 2205 and 304, as well as 316 stainless steel is stronger. This, therefore, gives it an advantage in areas where many chlorides dominate, marine and chemical processing industries.
High Strength: The duplex microstructure provides it with greater strength than standard austenitic stainless steels, typically having a tensile strength that is twice as that of grades 304 or 316. In many applications, its material properties are more tenacious.
Stainless Steel 2205 Sheet is one type of stainless steel with austenitic and ferritic parts. This special structure allows strength while being light and helps to resist rusting, especially in salty areas. The other interesting thing is that Stainless Steel 2205 is neither pitting, crevice corrosion, nor SCC affected easily. It has an inorganic strength with a good ability to resist rust, so it’s very in demand in many applications.

Stainless Steel 2205 Sheet is one of the stainless grades that have been known for their strength, corrosion resistance, as well as toughness. This sheet makes the best choice for tough applications. Its mix of materials particularly comes with high levels of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum to help resist damage resulting from pitting, crevice corrosion, as well as from SCC especially in those environments which tend to be chloride-rich.
The duplex structure of the material makes it two times stronger compared to the austenitic types like 304 or 316, but easy to weld and shape. This gives it great potential for use in many chemical processing, marine, oil & gas, and food processing applications where the service conditions are such that strong corrosion-resistant materials are needed.
