329 and 2205 are different materials
329 and 2205 belong to the duplex family but do not share identical chemistry limits or post-weld behaviour. Tensile strength alone is insufficient when changing grades. For replacement parts in existing plant, review the previous designation, welding need and fluid conditions together.
Clarify EN and UNS identity
The EN composition of 1.4460 is not automatically identical to S32900 limits sometimes shown under the same commercial heading. State any specified UNS code separately. Defining the governing certificate specification provides a more accurate purchasing description than relying on the 329 name alone.
Processing affects phase balance
Welding, hot forming and final heat treatment can influence duplex phase structure. Do not directly transfer a procedure from another duplex grade. Include the environment, welding plan and required tests with bar or pipe enquiries so that grade and delivery condition can be assessed together.
Typical application areas
Pump and shaft parts, process components and replacement equipment parts.

Frequently asked questions
Can I request 1.4460 in cut lengths?+
Share your required section, dimensions and quantity. Our team will assess suitable supply and cutting options for the specific grade.
Are the listed grade designations interchangeable?+
Designation systems can overlap, but they do not make every specification identical. Use the exact standard and certificate requirements defined by your project.
