SAF 2205, also known as Sandvik SAF 2205, is a Sandvik-owned trademark for a 22Cr duplex (ferritic-austenitic) stainless steel. SAF derives from Sandvik Austenite Ferrite. The nominal chemical composition of SAF 2205 is 22% Chromium, 5% Nickel, 3.2% Molybdenum and other Alloying elements such as Silicon and Manganese.[1] The UNS designation for SAF 2205 is S31803/S32205 and the EN steel no. is 1.4462.
Typical properties of SAF 2205 duplex stainless steel are:[2][3]
- high resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in chloride-bearing environments
- high resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in environments containing hydrogen sulphide
- high resistance to general corrosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion
- high resistance to erosion corrosion and corrosion fatigue
- high mechanical strength - roughly twice the proof strength of austenitic stainless steel
- good weldability
