Product Overview
Ferralium 255 studs are high-performance duplex stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS S32550 bar stock, conforming to ASTM A276 and ASTM A479. This super duplex alloy contains approximately 25% chromium, 5% nickel, 3.5% copper, and 2% molybdenum, delivering exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice, and stress corrosion cracking in aggressive chloride and acidic environments.
With a PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number) of 40+, Ferralium 255 studs are specified for critical bolted joints in seawater, desalination, chemical processing, and offshore oil & gas applications where standard 316L or 2205 duplex fasteners are inadequate. The alloys high strength and corrosion resistance make it ideal for flange connections, pressure vessels, and structural assemblies exposed to harsh service conditions.
