Alloy 2205 is a second-generation, nitrogen-alloyed duplex stainless steel (ferritic-austenitic). It offers an excellent combination of both strength and corrosion resistance over a wide range of applications. The approximate 50/50 ferrite-austenite structure provides excellent chloride pitting and stress corrosion cracking resistance, with roughly twice the yield strength of the standard austenitic stainless grades.
The high chromium and molybdenum content, coupled with the nitrogen addition in 2205, provides general corrosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion resistance superior to 316L and 317L.
The UNS S31803 grade stainless steel has undergone a number of modifications resulting in UNS S32205, and was endorsed in the year 1996. This grade offers higher resistance to corrosion.
2205 demonstrates superior erosion-corrosion resistance when compared to 316 stainless steel. It is not subject to intergranular corrosion in the as-welded condition. 2205 may be successfully machined by conventional methods.
The (UNS S32205) grade is a restricted-chemistry version which maintains chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen at higher levels than the (UNS S31803) composition.

Possible Alternative Grades of UNS S32750 Duplex Stainless Steel Pipe
Given below is a list of possible alternative grades, which may be chosen in place of 2205.
Table 5 - Grade specification comparisons for 2205 grade stainless steels
Grade | Reasons for choosing the grade |
904L | Better formability is needed, with similar corrosion resistance and lower strength. |
UR52N+ | High resistance to corrosion is required, e.g. resistance to higher temperature seawater. |
6%Mo | Higher corrosion resistance is required, but with lower strength and better formability. |
316L | The high corrosion resistance and strength of 2205 are not needed. 316L is lower cost. |
