2205 Stainless Steel Channel Bar: Technical Specifications and Applications The 2205 stainless steel channel bar is a premium duplex grade containing 22% chromium, 3% molybdenum, and 5-6% nickel with nitrogen alloying. This specialized stainless steel channel bar combines exceptional corrosion resistance with superior strength and impact toughness. Compared to austenitic grades like 316L or 317L, the 2205 stainless steel channel bar offers enhanced pitting and crevice corrosion resistance across most corrosive environments. Material Advantages Superior corrosion resistance: Excellent protection against pitting and crevice corrosion. High structural strength: Provides robust performance in demanding applications. Excellent impact toughness: Maintains integrity under high-stress conditions. Enhanced fatigue properties: Superior durability over extended periods. Better thermal conductivity: Efficient heat transfer capabilities. Lower thermal expansion than austenitic grades: Improved dimensional stability. Processing Guidelines Hot Forming: Recommended temperature: 2010-2100°F (1100-1150°C) Careful attention to edge temperatures required Risk management for non-compact shapes Cold Forming: Good overall formability Higher spring-back due to strength Equipment power considerations needed Special handling requirements Applications and Industries The 2205 stainless steel channel bar excels in: Chemical Industry: Pressure vessels Storage tanks Piping systems Heat exchangers Oil and Gas Sector: Processing equipment Tubing applications Heat exchange systems Specialized Applications: Marine environments Effluent treatment Pulp and paper processing Food processing Biofuel facilities Cargo transport systems Industry Standards and Specifications The 2205 stainless steel channel bar meets various international standards: ASTM/ASME: A240 UNS S32205/S31803 EURONORM: 1.4462 X2CrNiMoN 22.5.3 AFNOR: Z3 CrNi 22.05 AZ DIN: W.Nr 1.4462 Technical Specifications Table Dimension (mm) Length (mm) Tolerance (H) Surface Finish 50 x 50 x 5 6000 H8 Hot rolled & pickled 75 x 75 x 6 6000 H9 Sandblasted 100 x 100 x 8 6000 H10 Cold drawn 125 x 125 x 10 6000 H11 Polished 150 x 150 x 12 6000 H12 Hairline finish 200 x 200 x 15 6000 H13 Precision ground finish Contact Us For detailed specifications and custom solutions tailored to your needs, please contact our technical team today.
