2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Bar |
|---|
| 2205 is a (two phase) ferritic/austenitic stainless steel with high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, as supplied in the annealed condition with a maximum brinell hardness of 290 (Rc31).Characterised by high yield strength, double that of the standard austenitic stainless steel grades, good fatigue strength plus excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, crevice, pitting, erosion and general corrosion in severe environments. Again generally out performing the standard austenitic stainless steel grades. 2205 cannot be hardened by thermal treatment, but strength and hardness can be increased substantially by cold working, with subsequent reduction in ductility.It is used extensively by the Marine, Chemical, Petrochemical, Pulp and Paper, Oil and Gas, Transport and allied processing industries.
Typical uses are: Anchor Guides, Conveyors, Fasteners, Bushings, High Strength Pump Shafts, Propellor Shafts, plus various applications currently using standard austenitic stainless steel grades. Material Magnetic due to its part ferritic structure.

| Elevated Temperature Properties* | |||||||||||
| While the oxidation resistance of 2205 is good at high temperature as with other duplex stainless steel grades, it is subject to embrittlement when exposed to temperatures above 300oC even for short periods. It is subject to embrittlement at 475oC when exposed for 2 hours only, also between 370oC and 540oC over a longer period.Precipitation of sigma phase will also occur above 650oC resulting in decreased ductility and corrosion resistance. *2205 is therefore not recommended for use at temperatures above 300oC. | |||||||||||

| Low Temperature Properties | |||||||||||
| 2205 is not recommended for use at temperatures below -50oC, again due to its embrittling effect resulting in low ductility.N.B. Unlike high temperature exposure however, the embrittling effect of low temperature exposure is not permanent, existing only for the duration at low temperature. | |||||||||||

| Bending | |||||||||||
| Cold Bending | |||||||||||
| Cold bending will be extremely difficult due to the high yield strength. Any cold working causing more than 10% deformation should be followed by annealing. | |||||||||||
| Hot Bending | |||||||||||
| Hot bending should be performed at 950oC - 1000oC followed by annealing. | |||||||||||
| Corrosion Resistance | |||||||||||
| General Corrosion | |||||||||||
| 2205 has superior resistance to general corrosion in most media than 316L or 317L austenitic stainless steel grades | |||||||||||
| Stress Corrosion Cracking | |||||||||||
| 2205 has a much higher resistance to stress corrosion cracking than 304L or 316L austenitic stainless steel grades. | |||||||||||
| Pitting Corrosion / Crevice Corrosion | |||||||||||
| 2205 has a higher resistance to pitting corrosion than 316L or 317L austenitic stainless steel grades. | |||||||||||
| Crevice Corrosion | |||||||||||
| 2205 has a higher resistance to crevice corrosion and erosion corrosion than 316L austenitic stainless steel grade. | |||||||||||
| Corrosion Fatigue | |||||||||||
| 2205 has better fatigue strength in corrosive environments than the standard austenitic stainless steel grades due to its higher strength and higher corrosion resistance.N.B. For optimum corrosion resistance, surfaces must be free of scale and foreign particles. Finished parts should be passivated. | |||||||||||
| Forging | |||||||||||
| Heat uniformly to 1150oC. Hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section.Do not forge below 900oC. Finished forgings should be air cooled.Finally forgings will require to be annealed in order to obtain optimum mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
|
|||||||||||
| Heat Treatment | |||||||||||
| Annealing | |||||||||||
| Heat to 1020oC - 1100oC. Hold until temperature is uniform throughout the section. *Soak as required.Quench in water to obtain optimum corrosion resistance. *Actual soaking time should be long enough to ensure that the part is heated thoroughly throughout its section to the required temperature, 30 minutes per 25mm of section may be used as a guide.Please consult your heat treater for best results.

| Machining | |||||||||||
| The machinability of 2205 in the annealed as supplied condition is lower than either 304 and 316 due to it's higher yield strength (approximately double).Typically 80% as machinable as the standard 304 and 316 grades, but lower against the improved machinability 304 and 316 grades. N.B. All machining should be carried out as per machine manufacturers recommendations for suitable tool type, feeds and speeds. | |||||||||||
| Welding | |||||||||||
| 2205 is readily weldable by the various standard electric arc welding processes.Oxcyacetylene welding is however not recommended due to the possibility of carbon pick up in the weld area. | |||||||||||
| Welding Procedure | |||||||||||
| Welding of 2205 should always be carried out using duplex stainless electrodes* similar to the parent metal.No pre-heat or post-heat is required. Post weld annealing, while not necessary for many applications, will however provide optimum corrosion resistance in severe service conditions.*Please consult your welding consumables supplier.
