Duplex SS 2205 V Nickel-Alloy Bronze

[MOEMS]

I would like to find out the main advantages and disadvantages of using a duplex stainless steel (2205) as opposed to a Nickel Alloy Bronze in a marine environment. Specifically the resistance to corrosion, pitting and galvanic corrosion in an application such as a pipe fitting, where sea water is present continually.
