Product Overview
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.
