2205 (S32205) Duplex stainless steel is increasingly used for hollow steel and H-beams in a variety of applications due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Here are some of the main applications for 2205 stainless steel hollow sections and H-sections:

Structural Application: Load-bearing components in bridges, especially in corrosive environments
Columns, beams and other structural components in buildings and infrastructure
Structural supports and frames for offshore oil and gas platforms

Architectural and Decorative Applications: Handrails, railings and other architectural elements in buildings and public spaces
Structural supports and framing for facades, canopies and other architectural features
Decorative elements in bridges such as railings and lighting fixtures

Industrial Equipment & Machinery: Frames and supports for process equipment in the chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper industries
Structural components of material handling equipment such as cranes and conveyors
Frames and enclosures for industrial machinery and equipment

Transportation infrastructure: Structural components of movable bridges such as trunnions and bearings
Supports and frames for signs, lighting and other roadside infrastructure
Structural elements of railway and metro systems, including platforms and canopies

Marine and Offshore Applications: Structural supports and frames for offshore wind turbines and other marine structures
Walkways, ladders and other access components for offshore oil and gas platforms
Structural elements of shipbuilding and marine infrastructure

Corrosion Resistance: The high chromium and molybdenum content in 2205 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion protection, making it ideal for applications in harsh, corrosive environments.
Strength and Durability: 2205 stainless steel has high tensile and yield strengths as well as good impact resistance, allowing it to be used to design lightweight yet strong structural elements.
Thermal and Low Temperature Stability: 2205 stainless steel maintains its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance at both high and low temperatures, making it suitable for use in a wide range of temperature conditions.
Fabrication and Welding: 2205 stainless steel is easy to fabricate and weld, enabling the production of complex structural parts and assemblies.
Aesthetics: The unique appearance and corrosion resistance of 2205 stainless steel make it an attractive choice for architectural and decorative applications where functionality and aesthetics are important.
