Product Overview
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.
