Decent general corrosion & cracking resistanceDuplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 (UNS S32205 / UNS S32750) stainless steel fasteners are characterized by their high yield strength, which is twice that of annealed austenitic stainless steels, like 304 and 316. In addition, Duplex steels offer improved corrosion protection compared to 300 series stainless, especially in terms of localized corrosion such as crevice and pitting, as well as stress corrosion cracking. In general, Duplex steel bolts are a great step up from 300 series stainless.
The main difference between the Duplex alloys is that 2507 offers higher strength and better corrosion resistance compared to Duplex 2205.
• Duplex 2205 (1.4462): Higher strength and corrosion resistance than 300 series stainless.
• Super Duplex 2507 (1.4410): Improved corrosion resistance and strength compared to 2205.
Mechanical Properties
Duplex 2205 bolts provide a typical UTS of 110ksi and a yield strength of 80ksi, whereas Super Duplex bolts offer slightly higher strength at 125ksi UTS and 82ksi yield. In general, Duplex fasteners have significantly better toughness and ductility than ferritic grades of steel, but not the levels of austenitic grades. Usage of both a Duplex screw and Super Duplex stainless steel screw should be limited to temperatures below 570°F, as extended exposure to elevated temperatures can embrittle this material.
Key properties:
• High strength and fatigue resistance
• Good toughness & ductility
• Temperature usage limit: 570°F
• Low thermal expansion
Corrosion Resistance
Though Duplex steel screws are not ideal for harsh chemical environments, they do offer better corrosion resistance than 300 series stainless steel and are ideal for saltwater and chloride applications. Duplex bolts offer resistance to:
• Saltwater: salt air, brackish water and marine environments.
• Localized chloride corrosion: pitting and crevice corrosion as well as stress corrosion cracking.
• Sulfide stress corrosion resistance
• Oxidation

| Is a Coating Needed for Duplex Bolts in Saltwater? |
Q: We would like to purchase Duplex parts. Can you xylan coat and Zinc nickel Electroplate them since they will be used in sea water? A: It is not practical to coat a Duplex 2507 bolt as it is stainless steel and will not corrode in seawater. Duplex will provide great resistance to saltwater, salt air, chloride corrosion, oxidation, and stress corrosion caused by sulphides. These coatings are usually best applied to carbon steel that will corrode rapidly in air and water. |
For special applications, Extreme Bolt & Fastener can also provide Duplex stainless steel fasteners per ASTM A1082 specification. This specification applies to bolting and has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense. ASTM A1082 sets standards for chemical composition and mechanical properties.

Duplex 2205 flanges are made from an austenitic-ferritic stainless steel, which was designed to deliver higher strength and corrosion resistance than 300 series stainless steels. It helps users to avoid stress corrosion cracking that is typically seen with 316 and 317. Duplex 2205 flanges combine the qualities of stress corrosion cracking resistance and high strength derived from being a ferritic alloy along with its austenitic fabrication capabilities.
Key Benefits
Duplex 2205 Strength
In comparison to SS316, Duplex 2205 has been tested under reverse bending stresses at room temperature. The results show that the fatigue limit/yield strength is about twice as high for Duplex 2205.
Duplex 2205 Temperature Capabilities
Duplex 2205 flanges have a a ductile to brittle transition at -50°C and can also become embrittled at temperatures of 300-1000°C, therefore recommended use is -50°C to 300°C. Exposure above 300°C will not only cause the embrittlement of 2205 flanges, but also reduced corrosion resistance.
Duplex 2205 Corrosion Resistance
Providing industry with an improved corrosion solution to stainless, Duplex 2205 flanges offer good sulfide corrosion resistance, as well as chloride pitting and crevice corrosion resistant superior to 317L. The combination of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen give Duplex 2205 flanges good protection from chloride pitting and crevice corrosion, which makes them useful for marine environments, brackish water, bleaching operations, closed loop water systems and some food processing applications. Though it is important to keep in mind that pitting corrosion can be a concern in chloride solutions when oxidizing media is present. In these conditions, the passive (protective) layer of the Duplex 2205 material may be compromised in localized pitting may occur.

Super Duplex 2507 flanges are made of a stainless steel alloy containing 25% chromium, 4% molybdenum, and 7% nickel. Duplex 2507 is known for its high strength and excellent localized corrosion resistance to chloride. This alloy is widely used for its yield strength which is twice that of annealed austenitic stainless steels, like 304 and 316 stainless. Download our datasheet for Super Duplex 2507.
Super Duplex 2507 Strength
Offering high impact and mechanical strength, Super Duplex 2507 flanges can be used at temperatures up to 570°F before you will see a reduction in strength.
Super Duplex Corrosion Resistance
Chloride corrosion resistance is one of the key attributes of Super Duplex 2507 flanges due to its specialty metal makeup. The high molybdenum, chromium and nitrogen content of Super Duplex provides these flanges excellent resistance to chloride corrosion such as pitting and crevice attack, while its ferritic structure makes it very resistant to stress corrosion cracking in warm chloride environments. Super Duplex 2507 flanges also provide uniform corrosion protection from organic acids such as formic and acetic acid, plus inorganic acids, especially those containing chlorides. In addition, 2507 flanges are highly resistant to carbide-related intergranular corrosion due to their low carbon content (0.020% in weight).
