Duplex Steel 2205 Unequal Cross Pipe Fittings

Duplex Steel 2205 Unequal Cross Pipe Fittings are composed of several different elements. The most notable of these is chromium, which makes up around 22 percent of the alloy content, providing impressive corrosion resistance. This is complemented by molybdenum which can provide additional strength and resist certain chemicals better than standard stainless steel. Nickel and nitrogen are also present in the composition but in lesser amounts at lower percentages. With the combination of these elements, Duplex Steel 2205 Unequal Cross Pipe Fittings are some of the strongest pipe fittings available today and have enabled those in construction to access a versatile material that meets their needs perfectly.

Duplex Steel 2205 Unequal Cross Pipe Fittings combine the excellent corrosion resistance of nitrogen-alloyed duplex steel with a higher mechanical strength. This type of fitting enables to the attainment of high design pressure ratings, even when welded up to 20 mm thick, and is therefore especially suitable for use in critical applications such as seawater systems. Furthermore, it is applied in both low temperature services, such as liquefied natural gas and cryogenic processing, and in persistent high temperature services. Its outstanding mechanical characteristics, combined with its dual-phase ferrite/austenitic structure, make it an ideal choice over conventional austenitic steels such as 304L or 316L when higher strength and service requirements are crucial. Additionally, these fittings are resistant to stress corrosion cracking caused by chloride ions and have no risk of weld decay or embrittlement even after welding or extended time at elevated temperatures.
