Sanmac 2205 is a duplex stainless steel developed for improved machinability, combining the strength and corrosion resistance of standard 2205 with controlled inclusion type and distribution that extend tool life and raise productivity.

It sits within our focus on duplex and super duplex stainless steels, a family of high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloys suited to a wide range of applications. Sanmac 2205 is in stock and available worldwide.

Applications

  • Oil and gas: pumps, valves, pipe, vessels and subsea equipment
  • Marine and shipbuilding: bolts, valves, rudders, shafts and propellers
  • Food industry: brewery piping, hot liquor tanks and presses
  • Pulp and paper: brownstock washers and bleach tower linings
  • Equipment handling organic and fatty acids, heat exchangers and chemical storage
  • Agricultural equipment holding sulphuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, ethylene oxide, polypropylene and other aggressive substances

The combination of good machinability, high resistance to stress corrosion cracking, good weldability and high mechanical strength makes Sanmac 2205 an attractive alternative to austenitic stainless steels.
