What are Duplex 2205 Shims?

Duplex 2205 shims are precision flat spacers slit from two-phase stainless steel, roughly half austenite and half ferrite. Fitters use them to fill gaps, level machinery, and correct alignment between mating faces. The 22% chromium, 3% molybdenum, and nitrogen chemistry pushes the PREN above 35, so a 2205 shim holds its exact thickness in chloride service that pits 304 or 316 spacers. Yield strength near double the austenitic level allows a thin section to carry clamping load without deforming. These shims are used in marine and desalination plants, oil and gas industries, and more.

We slit DSS 2205 shim in any width from 3 mm to 2000 mm, in soft annealed condition to ASTM A240, with the finish and edge that your assembly needs.

Chemical Composition of Duplex 2205 Shims

Chromium at 22.0 to 23.0% forms the main element of Duplex UNS S32205 shims, while the 0.14 to 0.20% nitrogen window separates the grade from the older S31803 range. ASTM A240 limits follow.

Element Composition (%)
Carbon (C) 0.030 max
Manganese (Mn) 2.00 max
Phosphorus (P) 0.030 max
Sulphur (S) 0.020 max
Silicon (Si) 1.00 max
Chromium (Cr) 22.0 to 23.0
Nickel (Ni) 4.5 to 6.5
Molybdenum (Mo) 3.0 to 3.5
Nitrogen (N) 0.14 to 0.20

Mechanical Properties of Duplex 2205 Shims

Alloy 2205 shims to ASTM A240 carry a 655 MPa minimum tensile strength paired with a 450 MPa minimum yield. Yield and elongation minimums apply from 0.50 mm up; values for thinner shim gauges stay indicative. Material ships annealed only, with no temper ladder, and we don't recommend continuous duty above 300 °C, where alpha-prime embrittlement begins.

Industrial Applications of Duplex 2205 Shims

These 4 industries use the Duplex Steel 2205 shims we slit. Buyers pick the grade wherever a spacer must hold precise thickness under chloride attack, mechanical load, or both.

Duplex 2205 Shims used in Oil and Gas

Oil and Gas

Offshore and sour-service assemblies rely on 2205 duplex shims to set clearances in valves, wellhead hardware, and instrument mounts. The grade resists pitting and crevice attack in seawater while carrying real clamping force. Slit to ±0.1 mm, each shim installs without on-site trimming.

Duplex 2205 Shims used in Chemical Processing

Chemical Processing

Chemical plants set pump bases, reactor flange gaps, and seal faces with 22Cr duplex shims. Warm chloride streams crack austenitic spacers in a single campaign; the duplex structure keeps its gauge through years of the same duty.

Duplex 2205 Shims used in Marine and Desalination

Marine and Desalination

Seawater defines this application. Desalination contractors align pump housings, flash chamber internals, and heat recovery hardware with Alloy 2205 shims, where the nitrogen chemistry keeps pitting in check through hot, high-chloride brine exposure.

Duplex 2205 Shims used in Pulp and Paper

Pulp and Paper

Chlorine dioxide bleaching keeps pulp mill hardware under constant chloride attack. Shims that align washer drums, agitator mounts, and drive assemblies take the duplex grade for the pitting resistance and stiffness this line of work demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness range is available for Duplex 2205 Shims?

We slit Duplex 2205 shims from 0.03 mm to 5 mm thick and to any width between 3 mm and 2000 mm, held to ±0.1 mm on width. Anything below 0.03 mm moves into our foil range.

Can Duplex 2205 Shims be custom-slit to specific widths?

Yes, Duplex 2205 shims can be custom-slit to any width from 3 mm to 2000 mm. Our lines hold ±0.1 mm, so the shim arrives sized for your assembly without secondary trimming.

What is the difference between UNS S32205 and UNS S31803 for Duplex 2205 Shims?

The difference between UNS S32205 and UNS S31803 depends on the composition. S32205 has higher minimums for chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen, increasing the minimum tensile strength to 655 MPa compared to 620 MPa for S31803. Our shims meet the tighter S32205 window.

What surface finishes are available for Duplex 2205 Shims?

The surface finishes available on Duplex 2205 shims are BA (Bright Annealed), 2B, Matte, and Matte PVC. Deburred and rounded edges protect gasket faces and seals during installation.
