A Duplex 2205 clad plate is carbon-steel plate bonded to a corrosion-resistant alloy layer, made from Duplex 2205 to ASTM A240. Clad plate puts a thin alloy layer where the fluid is, on a cheaper carbon-steel base that carries the pressure — often far cheaper than solid alloy for thick vessels.

Duplex 2205 Clad Plate: Why 2205 for clad plates
Clad plate puts a thin alloy layer where the fluid is, on a cheaper carbon-steel base that carries the pressure — often far cheaper than solid alloy for thick vessels. In Duplex 2205, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Duplex plate allows thinner vessel walls. Duplex 2205 is picked for strength with chloride resistance at a stainless-steel budget. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Oil & gas — Flowlines, manifolds and topside piping. |
| Matching filler | ER2209 (AWS A5.9) |

Duplex 2205 Clad Plate — questions buyers ask
When is clad plate cheaper than solid alloy?
Usually when the total thickness is well above the corrosion allowance — the thicker the vessel, the bigger the saving.
Which standard covers Duplex 2205 clad plates?
The material is ASTM A240; dimensions follow ASTM A264 / A265 · ASME SA-264 / SA-265. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Duplex 2205 clad plate?
The alloy price, the size and dimensions, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates available on request / as specified in the PO; dimensional reports as required. PMI can be arranged depending on product and requirements, as specified in the PO.
