Duplex steels are also magnetic, a property that can be used to easily distinguish them from ordinary austenitic stainless grades.
Typically, UNS S31803 is individually designated as a Duplex 2205 grade. More recently, it complies with the higher corrosion resistance composition UNS S32205. The only difference in UNS numbers is that UNS S32205 contains a higher nitrogen content, which guarantees better corrosion resistance. UNS S31803 or 2205 Duplex is a super austenitic premium stainless grade with high corrosion resistance. The name comes from the chemical composition of 22% chromium and 5% nickel. As a duplex stainless steel, it combines the desirable properties of austenitic and ferritic grades. High chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen contents result in a Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) of 33-34, providing superior pitting and crevice corrosion performance over Alloy 316L or Alloy 317L austenitic stainless steels in almost all corrosive media.
