Louis Metals exports Super Duplex Ferralium 255 Bars and Rods from Houston, USA — designed for ultra-high strength and enhanced corrosion resistance. Ferralium 255 (UNS S32550) is a super duplex stainless steel alloy with outstanding performance in extremely corrosive and mechanically stressed conditions. With high chromium, molybdenum, and copper contents, this alloy provides enhanced pitting and crevice corrosion resistance compared to other super duplex grades. Louis Metals offers Ferralium 255 rods in special sizes and finishes, produced to ASTM A276 and A182 specifications. Our products are suited for offshore, desalination, and chemical processing applications demanding excellent mechanical and corrosion properties.
Ferralium 255 consists of 25% chromium, 5% nickel, 3.5% molybdenum, 2% copper, and nitrogen. It offers a tensile strength of up to 850 MPa and a yield strength of 570 MPa, which makes it among the strongest corrosion-resistant alloys in existence. Its PREN value is more than 40, which provides extreme pitting and crevice corrosion resistance. The alloy has very good impact strength and weldability, even in subzero temperatures. Louis Metals maintains close tolerances, smooth surface finishes, and severe testing for every batch of Ferralium 255 bars and rods.

Yes, Super Duplex Steel Ferralium 255 Bars can be welded using suitable techniques like TIG, MIG, or SMAW, ensuring precise heat input control to prevent phase imbalance. Pre-heating and post-weld heat treatments may be required for optimal weld integrity.
Super Duplex Steel Ferralium 255 Rods are highly resistant to galvanic corrosion due to their excellent corrosion resistance properties. However, they may still experience some susceptibility in highly corrosive environments when coupled with more anodic materials.
Super Duplex Steel Ferralium 255 rods are available in a wide range of sizes, typically from 3mm to 500mm in diameter. They are offered in finishes such as hot-rolled, cold-drawn, and polished for various applications.






We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
