Ferralium 255 (Pipe & Tube) (UNS 32550)

Ferralium® 255 is a super duplex stainless steel supplied in the cold finished and annealed condition. As a 25% Chromium alloy, with significant additions of Copper, it offers excellent corrosion resistance in a wide variety of corrosive chemicals including sulphuric, nitric and phosphoric acid.  In seawater and other chloride containing environments it also provides outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, with Critical Pitting Temperature exceeding 50°C. Excellent ductility and impact strength at both ambient and sub-zero temperatures combine with a high resistance to abrasion, erosion and cavitation erosion.

 

In its various product forms, Ferralium® 255 is listed in NACE MR 0175 for sour service and gained ASME Approval for Pressure Vessel applications. It has been tested to the highest degree using tests designed to guarantee that the trade-marked product possesses high integrity, a correct phase balance and the absence of sigma and other deleterious phases.
