steel rod sizes 2205 bar round S32205 bar
The 2205 was developed to provide excellent machinability. Control of composition and inclusion type improves chip formation and reduces tool wear, resulting in higher machining efficiency and lower tool costs.
Due to its excellent machinability and corrosion resistance, duplex 2205 accounts for more than 80% of the total duplex stainless steel usage worldwide. In addition to corrosion resistant materials, 2205 Duplex also exhibits high energy absorption and corrosion resistance. Duplex 2205 has higher thermal conductivity and lower thermal expansion than austenitic stainless steels. It also has good erosion fatigue properties as well as lower thermal expansion and higher thermal conductivity than austenitic steels. With about twice the yield strength of austenitic stainless steels, designers can save weight and make the alloy more cost-competitive compared to Alloy 316L or Alloy 317L.
