VT machining provides CNC Boring 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel for customers who need accurate, repeatable 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel components. The machinability of 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel is tougher than austenitic grades; reduced speeds and rigid setups maintain accuracy, so we set the operation up specifically for this grade.
CNC Boring Capability for 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
- Duplex ferritic-austenitic structure
- High strength + chloride resistance

It work-hardens the moment a tool dwells. Constant feed and positive-rake tooling; a rubbing pass leaves a glazed skin the next tool cannot get through.
Machining 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel with CNC Boring
2205 Duplex Stainless Steel behaves predictably under CNC Boring once parameters are dialled in: machinability is tougher than austenitic grades; reduced speeds and rigid setups maintain accuracy, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel run consistently from one batch to the next.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Boring 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Outside diameter | ±0.05 mm | ±0.005 mm |
| Bore diameter | H9 | H6 |
| Length / shoulder position | ±0.10 mm | ±0.020 mm |

| Roundness | 0.02 mm | 0.005 mm |
| Thread class | 6g / 2A | 4h / 3A |
| Surface finish, as turned | Ra 1.6 µm | Ra 0.4 µm |
Standard is what a normal quotation assumes. Precision is available on nominated features and is priced separately, because it needs extra setups, in-process gauging and CMM verification. Call out only the features that need it — blanket-tightening a drawing is the single most common reason a quote comes back expensive.
CNC Boring Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Boring 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
CNC Boring Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Why 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel?
2205 Duplex Stainless Steel is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is high-strength, chloride-corrosion-resistant. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
Applications of CNC Boring 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
Customers order CNC Boring 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.
How to Order CNC Boring 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
Getting a quote is simple. Share your model, the material grade, your quantity and target tolerances. You receive a clear quotation with lead time and honest manufacturability feedback.
Finishing Options for 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
| Finish | Thickness / effect | Why it gets specified |
|---|---|---|
| Citric passivation | — | ASTM A967 / AMS 2700, removes free iron |
| Electropolish | 5–25 µm removed | Ra improves by roughly half, hygienic surface |
| Brushed / grained | Ra 0.4–1.6 µm | No. 4 finish, directional |
| PVD coating | 2–5 µm | TiN, TiCN for wear surfaces |
| Deburr / edge break | 0.05–0.3 mm | All parts unless the drawing says otherwise |
| Bead blast | Ra 1.6–3.2 µm | Uniform matt finish, hides tool marks |
| Laser marking | — | Part number, lot code, data matrix |

What We Need to Quote CNC Boring 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel
- GeometrySTEP or IGES for the 3D model, plus a PDF drawing if you have tolerance callouts. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
- MaterialThe exact 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel grade and condition — temper, heat-treat state or hardness. If you are not sure, tell us the function and we will suggest one.
- QuantityPrototype count and the expected annual volume. Both change how the part is made and therefore what it costs.
- TolerancesWhich features are critical. Everything else runs to our standard tolerance, which is what keeps the price sensible.
- FinishSurface treatment, cosmetic requirements, and any faces that must be masked.
- DocumentsWhether you need a material certificate, dimensional report, FAIR or PPAP with the shipment.
Missing something from the list is not a problem — send what you have. We will come back with the specific questions rather than a generic form.
