Introduction
2205 duplex stainless steel standard: ASTM A240/A240M--01 chromium 2205 duplex stainless steel alloy is a 22%, 2.5% 4.5%-NI-n alloy composition Mo and duplex stainless steels. It has high strength, good toughness and good global and local resistance to stress corrosion.
2205 duplex stainless steel yield strength of austenitic stainless steel is twice times, this feature enables designers to design products reduce the weight, price advantage over the 316,317L. This alloy is suitable within the temperature range-50 ° F/600 ° f. Exceeding this temperature range of application, this alloy can also be considered, but there are some limitations, especially when applied to welded structures.

Corrosion Resistance
Grade 2205 stainless steel exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, much higher than that of grade 316. It resists localized corrosion types like intergranular, crevice and pitting. The CPT of this type of stainless steel is around 35°C. This grade is resistant to chloride stress corrosion cracking (SCC) at temperatures of 150°C. Grade 2205 stainless steels are apt replacements to austenitic grades, especially in premature failure environments and marine environments.

Heat Resistance
The high oxidation resistance property of Grade 2205 is marred by its embrittlement above 300°C. This embrittlement can be modified by a full solution annealing treatment. This grade performs well at temperatures below 300°C.

Heat Treatment
The best suited heat treatment for this grade is solution treatment (annealing), between 1020 - 1100°C, followed by rapid cooling. Grade 2205 can be work hardened but cannot be hardened by thermal methods.

Welding
Most standard welding methods suit this grade, except welding without filler metals, which results in excess ferrite. AS 1554.6 pre-qualifies welding for 2205 with 2209 rods or electrodes so that the deposited metal has the right balanced duplex structure.
Adding nitrogen to the shielding gas ensures that adequate austenite is added to the structure. The heat input must be maintained at a low level, and the use of pre or post heat must be avoided. The co-efficient of thermal expansion for this grade is low; hence the distortion and stresses are lesser than that in austenite grades.

Machining
The machinability of this grade is low due to its high strength. The cutting speeds are almost 20% lower than that of grade 304.

Fabrication
The fabrication of this grade is also affected by its strength. Bending and forming of this grade requires equipment with larger capacity. Ductility of grade 2205 is lesser than austenitic grades; therefore, cold heading is not possible on this grade. In order to carry out cold heading operations on this grade, intermediate annealing should be carried out.

Hot-rolled plate
1. Toughness and poor surface roughness, the price is low;
2. The temperature of hot rolling is similar to the forging temperature;
3. Hot plate with hot rolling surface oxide processing, thickness difference
4. Hot-rolled product prices and the use of relatively cold to a wide range of more;
5. Hot-rolled steel, mechanical properties far less than cold, but also inferior to forging processing, but have good toughness and ductility
6. The surface of the hot-rolled plate without plating is dark brown
7. From the plating can be distinguished from the degree of surface smoothness, hot rolled plate smoothness is low.
