F51 (2205) Duplex Stainless Steel
UNS S31803 | UNS S32205F51 (2205) Duplex Stainless Steel
F51 (2205) duplex stainless steel is an austenitic-ferritic (duplex) stainless steel. Consisting of 22% Chromium and 5% Nickel. F51 (2205) duplex stainless steel is typically dual certified to UNS S31803 (318) / S32205 (2205). F51 (2205) duplex stainless steel combines corrosion resistance and higher strength compared other austenitic stainless steels, while also having superior pitting resistance. F51 (2205) duplex stainless steel is also suitable in applications in environments of -50°F to +600°F temperature range. F51 (2205) duplex stainless steel does suffer from embrittlement and loss of toughness, when exposed to prolonged use in applications or environments below -50°F or above +600°F. This is why F51 (2205) duplex stainless steel is not suitable for exposure outside of these ranges.
Common industry/applications for F51 (2205) duplex stainless steel are: Pressure Vessels, Chemical and Biofluid processing, Rotors, Fans, and Shafts, and Pulp and Paper Processing.
Product forms include round bar, plate & sheet, and forgings.
