DUPLEX STEEL · TECHNICAL ANSWER

What is the difference between UNS S31803 and S32205 duplex steel?

Both belong to the duplex 2205 family. S32205 has tighter chemistry limits intended to assure alloying levels associated with 2205 corrosion and mechanical performance.

DETAILED EXPLANATION

Material may be dual-certified only when the heat meets the requirements of both designations.

Product-form specifications, heat treatment, ferrite balance, corrosion testing and welding controls remain important.

Key points

  • Both are commonly called duplex 2205
  • S32205 has tighter chemistry limits
  • Dual certification requires compliance with both
  • F51/F60 are forging designations
