22 Chrome, or 2205 Duplex, is a cold hardened duplex stainless steel with a nitrogen addition for improved corrosion resistance, particularly where welding is required. In the annealed condition, alloy 2205 has more than twice the strength of conventional austenitic stainless steels and, in many environments, exhibits corrosion resistance superior to alloy 316. It is the most widely used of the duplex stainless steels offering improved mechanical properties and increased resistance to the effects of CO2, chlorides, pH, and temperatures when compared with Super 13 Chrome.
Duplex 25 Chrome is suitable for environments high in chlorides and commonly used in oil and gas production, marine applications, and chemical processing. In upstream oil and gas, 22 Chrome is used extensively as tubing, casing, or liners in corrosive wells containing the presence of CO2, low H2S, and chlorides. It is often commonly used in heat exchangers using chloride-bearing water as a coolant.
CRA offers specialty alloy 22 Chrome seamless pipe & tube for use in multiple industries and applications, including:
