2205 ASTM A789 UNS S31803 Duplex Stainless Steel Seamless Tube

Duplex S31803 is also known as UNS S32205, referring to its composition of approximately 22% chromium, 5% nickel, 3% molybdenum, and 2% nitrogen. A789 S31803 tubes are classified as "duplex" stainless steel, which means they have a two-phase microstructure consisting of both austenite and ferrite. This dual-phase structure provides a combination of high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications.
