COMMON TRADE NAMES: 22 Chrome Duplex, SM22CR®, 2205, Duplex 2205, SAF® 2205, Sanmac® 2205, VM® 22, F51

22CR Applicable Environments22 Chrome (UNS S31803), also referred to as 2205 Duplex or 22Cr, is a cold hardened duplex stainless steel intended for corrosion resistance in sweet (CO2) and mildly sour (H2S) environments with moderate chloride content, requiring high strength up to 400°F.

22Cr offers improved mechanical properties and increased resistance to the effects of CO2 , chlorides, pH, and temperatures when compared with Super 13 Chrome. The higher strength and temperature resistance, relative to Super 13 Chrome, allow it to be used in deeper wells with high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions, as downhole tubular components, packers, and other subsurface equipment. All environmental factors, including H2S, CO2 , temperature, pH, and chloride concentration, should be considered before final material selection.

This alloy is classified in MR0175/ISO15156 as a duplex stainless steel having a Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) ≤40 and is suitable for H2S partial pressure ≤0.3 psi.

Applications in Upstream Oil & Gas

  • Corrosive environments containing the presence of CO2 , low H2S, and chlorides
  • High-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT), sweet (CO2) environments where localized corrosion is a concern (high temperature, high chlorides, and low pH)
  • Tubing
  • Casing
  • Liners
  • Base Pipe for Sand Screens
  • Expandables
  • Perforating Guns
  • Landing Joints
  • Extensions
  • Shrouds
  • Maker Joints
  • Pipe for VIT
  • Swell Packers
  • Geothermal
  • Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS)
