Product Overview

What are SS 2205 (Duplex) Nuts?

SS 2205 (Duplex) nuts are high-strength, corrosion-resistant fasteners manufactured from duplex stainless steel grade UNS S32205, conforming to ASTM A479 and ASTM A182 standards. The duplex microstructure, with approximately equal proportions of austenite and ferrite, provides a unique combination of mechanical strength (twice that of 316L) and superior resistance to chloride-induced pitting, crevice, and stress corrosion cracking.

SS 2205 nuts are widely specified for bolted joints in aggressive environments such as seawater, brine, and chemical process streams, where conventional austenitic stainless steels are prone to failure. They are the industry standard for offshore platforms, desalination plants, and chemical reactors requiring reliable, long-life bolted connections.

Material Chemistry

SS 2205 (Duplex) Chemical Composition

SS 2205 (Duplex) Nuts are produced from a ferritic-austenitic steel with chromium (21–23%), molybdenum (3–3.5%), and nitrogen (0.14–0.20%) controlled per ASTM. Nitrogen is the critical alloying element: it simultaneously raises PREN to ≥ 35 for chloride pitting resistance and strengthens the austenite phase to achieve 450 MPa minimum yield — twice that of SS 316L.

Why SS 2205 (Duplex) Alloy Composition Matters for Nuts

Cr (21–23%) — Pitting & Crevice Resistance
High chromium content ensures a PREN >34, giving SS 2205 nuts excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in seawater and chloride-rich environments, outperforming 316L.
Mo (2.5–3.5%) — Enhanced Chloride Resistance
Molybdenum further boosts resistance to localised corrosion, making these nuts ideal for marine, desalination, and chemical plant applications.
N (0.14–0.20%) — Strength & SCC Resistance
Nitrogen increases yield strength and improves resistance to stress corrosion cracking, a key failure mode for nuts in hot, salty, or acidic service.

Industry Applications

SS 2205 (Duplex) Nuts Applications — Industries & End Uses

SS 2205 (Duplex) Nuts from RealBolt are specified across offshore platforms, desalination, pulp and paper, and chemical processing where excellent corrosion resistance and 800 MPa tensile strength are required for reliable fastener performance. Click each industry below for detailed application examples.
SS 2205 nuts are the default choice for subsea pipeline flanges, riser connections, and topside process equipment on offshore platforms. Their high strength and resistance to chloride SCC make them ideal for splash zone and submerged service.
Hex nuts and heavy hex nuts for high-pressure RO vessel flanges, seawater intake screens, and brine discharge piping. SS 2205’s PREN >34 ensures long-term resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in saline environments.
Used for reactor closures, heat exchanger channel covers, and process piping flanges in environments containing chlorides, organic acids, and caustics where 316L nuts would fail prematurely.
SS 2205 nuts are specified for digester vessel flanges, bleach plant piping, and black liquor recovery systems, where resistance to chloride and caustic attack is critical for fastener longevity.
