Sandvik Duplex Stainless Steels SAF 2507 Sandvik SAF 2507 is a high-alloy super duplex stainless steel for service under extremely corrosive conditions. It is de- veloped mainly for chloride containing environments like seawater and, there- fore, it contains high amounts of chro- mium, molybdenum and nitrogen. SAF 2205 Sandvik SAF 2205 is a medium-alloy duplex stainless steel with high corrosion resistance. This steel is the most widely used ofthe three. Continual development work formany yearshas lead to increased nitrogen and molybdenum contents, thus further improving the weldability and corrosion resistance, CHEMICAL COMPOSITION (weight-%) SAF 2304 Sandvik SAF 2304 isa low-alloy duplex stainless steel. It contains no molybde- ‘num and has lower nickel content than the other two. It is developed as a high- strength and low-cost altemative to the standard austenitic grades 304L and 3I6L.
