Product Overview

What are Ferralium 255 Threaded Rods?

Ferralium 255 threaded rods 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 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 threaded rods are specified for critical bolted joints in seawater, desalination, chemical processing, and FGD systems. Their high strength (minimum 800 MPa tensile) allows for reduced rod diameter and weight in structural and pressure-retaining applications compared to standard austenitic stainless steels.

Material Chemistry

Ferralium 255 Chemical Composition

Ferralium 255 Threaded Rods are manufactured from a high-alloy ferritic-austenitic steel containing chromium (24–26%), molybdenum (3.5–5%), and nitrogen (0.24–0.32%) per ASTM. These precise elemental limits produce PREN ≥ 40 — confirming seawater pitting immunity — and deliver the 550 MPa minimum yield strength required for NORSOK M-630 subsea qualification.

Why Ferralium 255 Alloy Composition Matters for Threaded Rods

Cr (24–26%) & Mo (1.5–2.0%) — Pitting & Crevice Resistance
The high chromium and molybdenum content gives Ferralium 255 threaded rods a PREN of 40+, ensuring outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in seawater, brine, and aggressive chemical environments.
Cu (1.5–2.5%) — Acid & Chloride Resistance
Copper enhances resistance to sulphuric, phosphoric, and organic acids, making Ferralium 255 ideal for threaded rods in chemical process and FGD applications.
Duplex Structure — High Strength & SCC Resistance
The duplex microstructure provides high yield strength and excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, outperforming standard 316/904L rods in critical bolted joints.

Ferralium 255 threaded rods are available to DIN 975 (metric full thread), DIN 976 (studs), ASME B18.31.3 (inch), and ISO 898-1 for mechanical properties. Both metric (M6-M64) and inch (¼”-2½”) threads are supplied. Custom thread forms (BSW, BSF, Whitworth, ACME) can be manufactured on request with short lead times.
Molybdenum-based or PTFE anti-seize is recommended for Ferralium 255 threaded rods to prevent galling and facilitate disassembly. Avoid copper-based anti-seize, as it can promote galvanic corrosion in chloride environments. Apply to threads and nut faces; reduce torque by 20% for lubricated assembly.
