What’s the difference between 2205 Stainless and 316

2205 Stainless Steel is far superior to standard marine grade 316 and 316L.

2205 Stainless Steel has been developed over the remaining 10-20 years by way of metallurgists that required a stainless that was once no longer solely better than trendy marine grade 316, however presented a great deal higher corrosion resistance. (2205 is oftentimes used for marine propeller shafts.)

2205 Stainless achieves nearly twice the corrosion resistance to everyday 316. This is due to brought tiers of Nickel, Chromium, Molybdenum and Nitrogen.

Features of 2205 are High Resistance to:

Fatigue corrosion
Stress corrosion cracking – specially in salt water
Chloride pitting and crevice corrosion – mainly desirable to salt water
Sulphide stress corrosion
High strength absorption
Low thermal expansion
Good weldability and workability

These motives are why 2205 is closely used in the business offshore seawater surroundings and is specified as the minimal requirement for such applications.

Unlike any different water strainer producer in the world, ARCTIC STEEL has dedicated to manufacturing all forged stainless metal strainers with duplex 2205 stainless steel.

Arctic Steel strainers have a wholly forged one-piece strainer body, removing the corrosion weaknesses inherent at welded joints. To similarly decorate our strainers, all bodies and lids are electro polished, which eliminates floor contaminants, supplying even higher resistance to corrosion and a special chromium prosperous shine to our strainers.

Not solely are the substances used, higher than any different strainer in the World, the strong graph and characteristic of Arctic Steel strainers are 2nd to none, supplying all vessels with unrivalled overall performance and operational efficiency.
