What is SS 2205 (Duplex)?

SS 2205 Duplex (UNS S32205/S31803) is the most widely used duplex stainless steel, with a balanced austenite-ferrite microstructure (50/50) providing tensile strength of 620 MPa — double that of standard austenitic grades — with PREN ≥35 and excellent resistance to chloride SCC. It replaces SS 316L and 904L in offshore, marine and chemical plant applications. SS 2205 fasteners (stud bolts, hex bolts, nuts) are the offshore standard for topside piping flange bolting, subsea equipment, desalination plant and chemical reactors handling chloride solutions. Governed by ASTM A182 F51 and ASTM A276.

SS 2205 Duplex Fasteners Chemical Composition

SS 2205 Duplex fasteners derive their unique dual-phase microstructure from a balanced composition of chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen alongside controlled nickel content. Chromium levels near 22% establish a stable passive oxide layer, while molybdenum at approximately 3% enhances resistance to localized pitting and crevice attack. Nitrogen additions strengthen the austenite phase and stabilize the ferrite-austenite ratio, ensuring balanced mechanical behavior. Nickel, present in smaller amounts than in standard austenitic grades, supports phase stability without compromising strength.

This engineered composition delivers fasteners with nearly double the yield strength of conventional 316 stainless steel, combined with excellent resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. The duplex structure provides superior toughness and fatigue resistance under cyclic loading, making these fasteners ideal for offshore, marine, chemical processing, and desalination applications. Their high strength-to-weight ratio also allows for reduced fastener sizing, improving design efficiency while maintaining long-term structural reliability in aggressive environments.

Applications

SS 2205 Duplex Fasteners Applications

SS 2205 (Duplex) Fasteners from RealBolt Engineering Industries are specified wherever corrosion resistance, elevated-temperature strength, or chemical media compatibility is critical to fastener performance. Primary industries and end-uses for SS 2205 (Duplex) fasteners include oil & gas, pulp & paper, desalination, marine structures.
SS 2205 Duplex bolts and studs are widely used on offshore platforms, seawater piping, cable trays, pump assemblies and splash zone equipment where chloride corrosion and high mechanical loading occur together.
Duplex 2205 fasteners are suitable for pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, valves and flanged connections exposed to organic acids, caustic solutions and chloride bearing process streams.
The high chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen content makes 2205 duplex fasteners a strong choice for reverse osmosis skids, brine handling systems, pumps and seawater intake equipment.
SS 2205 fasteners are used in digesters, bleaching equipment, scrubbers, tanks and structural assemblies where better resistance than 316 stainless steel is required with higher yield strength.

Answers for Buyers

Frequently Asked Questions About SS 2205 (Duplex) Fasteners

Browse the questions below to get quick, expert answers about SS 2205 (Duplex) Fasteners — covering alloy specifications (UNS S31803), applicable standards (ASTM A182), temperature ratings, corrosion performance, and how to source certified SS 2205 (Duplex) fasteners from RealBolt Engineering Industries.
SS 2205 has PREN ≥35, providing reliable resistance to seawater pitting up to 25°C and crevice corrosion in splash zones. Above 25°C seawater temperature (tropical subsea), super-duplex 2507 (PREN ≥42) is recommended. PREN = %Cr + 3.3×%Mo + 16×%N.
ASTM A182 Grade F51 for 2205 flanges (common reference for bar); ASTM A276 S32205 for bar. ASTM A194 Grade 8 (austenitic class) is sometimes used for nuts but ASTM A194 Grade 2H or duplex-specific nuts are preferred. EN 10088-3 1.4462 equivalent in European projects.
2205 duplex has lower H embrittlement susceptibility than martensitic and precipitation-hardened grades but is more susceptible than fully austenitic grades. Under impressed cathodic protection (E < -800 mV SCE), hydrogen absorption can cause slow crack growth. Potential should be maintained above -850 mV (SCE) per NACE SP0176.
Pre-qualified filler: ER2209 (22%Cr/9%Ni/3%Mo+N). Maintain heat input 0.5–2.5 kJ/mm, interpass ≤250°C. Requires full solution anneal at 1020–1100°C + rapid quench for weld overlay applications. Bolted joints do not require welding.
