Duplex Steel UNS S32205 Welded Pipes

What is Duplex Steel UNS S32205 Welded Pipes?

Duplex Steel UNS S32205 Welded Pipes are high-strength duplex stainless steel pipes designed for applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and reliable performance in demanding service conditions. UNS S32205, commonly known as Duplex 2205, has a balanced austenitic-ferritic microstructure that combines the beneficial properties of both stainless steel structures.

The chemical composition of UNS S32205 provides good resistance to general corrosion, pitting, crevice corrosion and chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. Its higher yield strength compared with conventional austenitic stainless steel grades makes Duplex Steel UNS S32205 Welded Pipes suitable for pressure, process and fluid-handling systems where both strength and corrosion resistance are important.

Duplex Steel UNS S32205 Welded Pipes are manufactured by forming stainless steel plate, sheet, or strip into a cylindrical shape and joining the longitudinal edges through a controlled welding process. They are available in different outside diameters, wall thicknesses, schedules and lengths to meet specific piping and project requirements.
