2205 stainless

While a bit pricier than 316, is is far cheaper than Titanium.

Cheers,

Jim, thanks for mentioning it. I've not actually come across 2205 ss, but from a brief search it sounds like this metal has potential due to it's higher resistance to crevice corrosion. Arguably such corrosion is the number one concern with internal chainplates.

You say pricier than 316 - is it more than double the price, and do you have experience of using it for anything?

How will that affect the sheeting angle on your foresail?

Can it be readily machined? Where can a DIYer get 2205 bar?

McMaster Carr sells 2205 SS in a variety of shapes.

They also have a nice summary of other SS types. For whatever reason they don't have the properties of 2205 (machinability etc. ) listed in the table.

Thanks. I looked it up. I agree, with the possible exception of machinability and the price (wow!), it looks like the ideal material - more corrosion resistant, especially to seawater.

Thanks for the tip, Jim Cate!
