Product Overview

 

ASTM A790 UNS S31803 pipe, commonly known as 2205 duplex stainless steel pipe, is a seamless/welded tubular product manufactured per ASTM A790 standard for corrosive fluid transportation. Its EN grade is 1.4462 (X2CrNiMoN22-5-3), and Chinese brand S22253.

 

Key Features

 

 Duplex microstructure ensures high strength and structural stability

    The solution annealing process precisely balances austenite and ferrite at a 50:50 ratio, preventing material embrittlement              during subsequent fabrication or welding.

 High yield strength allowing thinner aall designs

    Delivering nearly double the yield strength of conventional austenitic stainless steels, this allows engineers to optimize wall              thickness, directly reducing total material weight and shipping costs.

 Optimized pickling process improves surface quality

    Advanced acid-cleaning and passivation remove all microscopic oxide scales and free iron contamination, leaving an ultra-                smooth passivation layer that enhances passive corrosion resistance.

 

Chemical Composition

 

Element S31803 (%) Function / Why It Matters
Chromium 21–23 Forms a self-healing anti-corrosion shield
Molybdenum 2.5–3.5 Enhances resistance to pitting corrosion
Nitrogen 0.08–0.20 Increases strength without brittleness
Nickel 4.5–6.5 Maintains toughness under stress
