The EN 10088 2205 Stainless Steel Pipe is a high-performance duplex stainless steel pipe known for its outstanding combination of strength and corrosion resistance. This material, commonly referred to as 2205 duplex stainless steel, offers exceptional resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion, making it suitable for highly demanding environments. Manufactured according to EN 10088 standards, the 2205 stainless steel pipe is widely used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, marine, and petrochemical, where both high mechanical strength and superior resistance to corrosive environments are required.

Unique Features of EN 10088 2205 Stainless Steel Pipe

• Superior Strength and Durability: 2205 duplex stainless steel has a higher yield strength than standard austenitic stainless steels, which makes it ideal for high-pressure applications, providing excellent resistance to mechanical stress and wear.
• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: It offers superior resistance to pitting, crevice, and stress corrosion cracking, especially in chloride-rich environments like seawater, making it highly effective in marine applications.
• Balanced Microstructure: The duplex structure (austenitic-ferritic) provides a combination of good weldability and high strength, ensuring the pipe performs well under both low and high temperatures.
• High Resistance to Fatigue: 2205 stainless steel exhibits excellent resistance to fatigue, ensuring long-term reliability in dynamic environments where the material is subject to alternating stresses.
• Environmentally Friendly: 2205 duplex steel has a low carbon content and is free from harmful elements like lead, making it a more environmentally friendly material compared to other stainless steel grades.
