Duplex Stainless Steel UNS 31803 (F51), UNS 32205 (F60) By yaang

Deriving the Duplex name from the presence of both Austenite and Ferrite in similar proportions, Duplex Stainless Steels combine excellent corrosion resistance with high strength. The typical mechanical properties would be double that of a single phase austenitic grade such as 316, while, for example, offering superior stress corrosion cracking resistance in chloride solutions.

Standard Duplex Stainless Steels typically have a 22% Chromium and 5% Nickel and in the 1960's Langley Alloys developed the first 25% Chromium Duplex alloy, Ferralium 255, and coined the phrase Super Duplex.

Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 S32205 S31803 is a 22% chromium, 3% molybdenum, 5-6% nickel, nitrogen alloyed duplex stainless steel with high general, localized, and stress corrosion resistance properties in addition to high strength and excellent impact toughness.

Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 S32205 S31803 provides pitting and crevice corrosion resistance superior to 316L or 317L austenitic stainless steel in almost all corrosive media. It also has high corrosion and erosion fatigue properties as well as lower thermal expansion and higher thermal conductivity than austenitic.The advantage of a duplex structure is that it combines the favorable qualities of aferritic alloy stress corrosion cracking resistance and high strength with austenitic alloy ease of fabrication and corrosion resistance.
