Product Overview
Ferralium 255 screws are high-performance super duplex stainless steel fasteners manufactured from UNS S32550 bar stock, conforming to ASTM A276 and ASTM A479. This alloy features a balanced austenitic-ferritic microstructure, with high chromium (24-26%), molybdenum (3-4%), and copper (1.5-2.0%) content, 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 screws outperform standard duplex and 316 stainless steel in seawater, brine, and chemical process applications. They are widely specified for critical bolted joints in desalination, offshore, and chemical plant equipment where both mechanical strength and corrosion resistance are paramount.
