Duplex Stainless Steel S31083 S32205 Flanges enhances the resistance to pitting corrosion
Duplex 2205 flanges combine the qualities of stress corrosion cracking resistance and high strength derived from being a ferritic alloy along with its austenitic fabrication capabilities.
The chemical makeup of Duplex Flanges Material is what is responsible for the flange not becoming prone to chlorine induced pitting as well. Compared to nickel based steels, these alloys have a lower cost. Since nickel is a commodity material, the cost of using alloys that have been heavily alloyed using alloy tends to be very expensive. Corrosion resistance: As usual with all stainless steel grades, corrosion resistance of a metal or alloy depends mostly on the composition of the metal, in this case stainless steel. However, most duplex stainless steels are commonly considered to have roughly equal amounts (volume fractions) of ferrite and austenite. The principal alloying elements are chromium and nickel, but nitrogen, molybdenum, copper, silicon, and tungsten may be added to control structural balance and to impart certain corrosion-resistance characteristics.
