Thanks Guys! I think I will get quotes for a duplex 2205 alloy
One last question:
This part will have a small spring plunger threaded into it to retain a disposable sensor. The highest grade alloy I can find for a spring plunger is A4 (passivated). I understand this is the equivalent of 316...
Thanks EdStainless for the reply.
2205 was one of the other alloys I was considering. I am new to spec'ing SS so I don't have a very good grasp on how various grades compare on price, so that is good info :)
Also, this part will be machined, are there industry standards for surface finish call...
I am designing a fixturing component to be mounted inside a CO2 incubator (5% CO2 and 5% O2 concentrations, at 37 deg C). The incubators are also highly humidified, generally 60-90%. The incubators are used to culture live cells so any rust/oxidation is a non-starter for the customer.
We began...
