steel. It is characterised by: • high mechanical strength - aproximately twice the proof
• high resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride-bearing strength of austenitic stainless steel
environments and in environments containing hydrogen • physical properties that offer design advantages
sulphide • good weldability
• high resistance to general corrosion, pitting and crevice
corrosion
Forms of supply
Seamless tube and pipe- finishes and dimensions
Seamless tube and pipe in Sandvik SAF 2205 is supplied in
dimensions up to 260 mm outside diameter. The delivery condi-
tion is solution annealed and either white pickled or bright an-
nealed. It can also be delivered cold-worked without subsequent
heat treatment.

General corrosion
In most media, Sandvik SAF 2205 possesses better resistance to
general corrosion than steel of type AISI 316L and 317L. The
improved resistance of Sandvik SAF 2205 is illustrated by the
isocorrosion diagram for corrosion in sulphuric acid, Figure
3, and the diagram showing the corrosion rates in mixtures of
acetic and formic acid, Figure 4. Figure 5 (page 4) shows the
isocorrosion diagram for Sandvik SAF 2205 in hydrochloric
acid.
Impurities that increase corrosivity are often present in process
solutions of acids. If there is a risk of active corrosion, higher
alloyed stainless steels should be chosen, e.g. the austenitic
grades Sandvik 2RK65 or Sandvik Sanicro 28, or the super-du-
plex grade Sandvik SAF 2507.
