Stainless Steel Flange
Duplex 2205 Stainless Steel Flanges are precision-engineered flanges made from a duplex stainless steel alloy consisting of approximately 22% chromium, 5% nickel, and 3% molybdenum. This unique composition provides outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. Compared to standard austenitic stainless steels like 316L, Duplex 2205 offers roughly twice the yield strength, allowing for lighter designs without compromising performance.
These flanges are available in various types such as weld neck, slip-on, blind, socket weld, lap joint, and threaded configurations to meet different piping system requirements. They are commonly used in offshore oil and gas platforms, chemical and petrochemical plants, desalination facilities, pressure vessels, and marine environments where both high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance are critical.
