What is 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Casting?
Duplex stainless steel is called “duplex” because they have a two-phase microstructure consisting of grains of ferritic and austenitic stainless steel. Duplex 2205 stainless steel is a high-quality nitrogen-enhanced duplex stainless steel alloy. Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 is also called Duplex 2205. It contains 22% chromium, 6% nickel, 3% molybdenum. 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Casting takes 2205 duplex stainless steel as raw cast material.
In the stainless steel casting process, it provides incredibly good strength against fatigue and excellent corrosion protection against pitting, erosion, cracking. These features make it suitable for the stainless steel investment casting process.
Duplex 2205stainless steel casting provides nearly double the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in other austenitic stainless steels. 2205 duplex stainless steel castings are widely used in industries such as petrochemical,oil and gas,ocean, sporting.

Advantages of 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Casting
Strength
Duplex stainless steel castings are about twice as strong as regular austenitic or ferritic stainless steel castings.
Toughness and ductility Duplex stainless steel castings have significantly better toughness and ductility than ferritic stainless steel castings.But, they do not reach the excellent values of austenitic stainless steel castings.
Stress corrosion cracking resistance
Duplex stainless steels show very good stress corrosion cracking resistance, a property they have “inherited” from the ferritic side. Stress corrosion cracking can be a problem under certain circumstances (chlorides, humidity, elevated temperature) for standard austenitic castings.
Corrosion resistance
As with all stainless steels, corrosion resistance depends mostly on the composition of the stainless steel castings. For chloride pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, their chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen content are most important. Duplex stainless steel casting grades have a range of corrosion resistance.
Cost
Duplex stainless steel castings have lower nickel and molybdenum contents than their austenitic counterparts of similar corrosion resistance. Due to the lower alloying content, duplex stainless steels can be lower in cost, especially in times of high alloy surcharges.
Applications of 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Casting
- Chemical process vessels
- Food processing equipment
- Oil field piping and heat exchangers
- Bleach washers, pulp mill digesters
- Flue gas desulfurization equipment
2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Casting Process
2205 duplex stainless steel casting process is actually a lost wax casting process. Its process is the same as the investment casting process.
- Wax is injected into a die to produce a pattern
- Patterns are affixed to a wax runner bar to create an assembly called a “tree”
- A robot dips the tree into a slurry to build up a ceramic shell
- The wax is melted out of the shell using heat and pressure
- The dewaxed ceramic shell is fired at 2000 degrees in a kiln
- Metal is poured into the fired shell
- The ceramic shell is knocked off the casting
