Open a grade to compare its characteristics, uses and processing needs. Choose a product within that entry to carry the grade into your specification.
2205 has a duplex microstructure and is selected for a combination of strength and corrosion resistance.
Common uses include process vessels, water-treatment equipment and fabricated structural components.
Specify the service medium, required product form and welding or heat-treatment controls. Forming loads and the finished joint condition should be included in fabrication planning.
2205 differs from austenitic 316L in fabrication behaviour. It is also distinct from lean-duplex 2304 and super-duplex 2507.
2304 is a lean-duplex stainless steel considered where strength and corrosion resistance need to be balanced.
Typical uses include structural fabrications, storage equipment and selected water-handling components.
Describe the exposure, section geometry and welding plan. Specify the material condition and inspection needed for the intended fabrication.
2304 is not a lower-cost label for any duplex requirement. Compare its corrosion duties with 2205 rather than substituting by family name.
2507 is a super-duplex grade used where localized-corrosion resistance and strength are major selection factors.
It is considered for seawater systems, offshore equipment and demanding process components.
Give the actual fluid, exposure and design requirements. Welding, heat treatment and inspection need to be addressed with the fabrication route.
2507 is distinct from standard duplex 2205. Its selection involves fabrication controls as well as the service-corrosion requirement.
The part dimensions, finish and planned forming or welding help define your duplex material enquiry.
Send the product standard, tolerances and inspection documents required by your project. We review the grade and product-form combination together with the delivery condition.
Browse the product forms in this material family. For a grade-specific enquiry, use the product link inside the grade entry; you can also send a drawing or describe the part you need.
Review component examples and the service, fabrication and material requirements relevant to your project.
Send your project specification or component drawing, with any known grade, form, dimensions, condition and quantity. Include the destination and required documents where available.
