2205 steel bar
The 2205 steel bar represents a sophisticated duplex stainless steel grade that combines exceptional strength with superior corrosion resistance. This versatile material consists of a balanced microstructure of approximately 50% austenite and 50% ferrite, which contributes to its remarkable mechanical properties. The 2205 designation refers to its chemical composition, featuring approximately 22% chromium and 5% nickel, along with other essential elements like molybdenum and nitrogen. These bars are manufactured through advanced metallurgical processes, ensuring consistent quality and performance across various applications. The material exhibits outstanding resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion, making it particularly suitable for challenging environments. Common applications include offshore oil and gas equipment, chemical processing facilities, pulp and paper mills, and marine environments where traditional stainless steel grades might fall short. The 2205 steel bar maintains its structural integrity across a wide temperature range and offers excellent weldability, facilitating its integration into complex fabrication projects. Its balanced composition also provides enhanced resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking, a critical factor in many industrial applications.
