S31803 vs S32205 Difference between S31803 and S32205?

S31803 almost the same with S32205 stainless steel. Mostly we use S32205 instead of S31803 in China. Below is some difference between S31803 and S32205 duplex steel according to ASTM A789.

S32205 has slightly higher minimum requirements for Cr, Mo and N, but is still within the chemical composition range of S31803. S32205 was developed to improve the potential loss of corrosion resistance and toughness in the heat affected zone of certain S31803 welds. Therefore, it is recommended that users specify the S32205 Duplex Tubes. If the use of S31803 is required, the user should require that the chemical composition of S31803 grades also meet the composition requirements of S32205 grades in order to maintain consistent performance.

S32205 vs S31803 Corrosion Resistance

Both S32205 and S31803 have stress corrosion resistance properties in addition to high strength and excellent impact toughness. Provides pitting and crevice corrosion resistance superior to 316L or 317L austenitic stainless steel in almost all corrosive media. It also has high corrosion and erosion fatigue properties as well as lower thermal expansion and higher thermal conductivity than austenitic.
