UNS S32550 - FERRALIUM 255 -F61

Ferralium 255 is a duplex alloy with excellent abrasion and cavitation resistance. SCC, pitting, and crevice corrosion resistance to chlorideIn marine applications, high ductility with high fatigue strength Doubling the yield strength of Alloy 20 and Duplex 2205 A critical pitting temperature of 40 °C (ASTM G48-Method A) is excellent.



The chemical, marine, metallurgical, municipal sanitation, plastics, oil and gas, petrochemical, pollution control, wet phosphoric acid, paper making, and metalworking industries all use FERRALIUM 255.

FERRALIUM 255 is used in areas where conventional stainless steels are inadequate or marginal. In the paper industry, for example, environmental laws forced the recycling of process liquids, causing an epidemic of corrosion. Closed systems can accumulate highly corrosive chemicals like chlorides. Paper makers discovered that previously reliable stainless steel equipment was no longer adequate for many applications.

Chemistry :


FERRALIUM 255's high critical pitting temperature and high critical crevice temperature provide more resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion than lesser alloyed materials. The alloy's very high yield strength combined with good ductility allows lower wall thicknesses in process equipment.

APPLICATION

FERRALIUM 255 is a cost effective alternative to materials such as the nickel alloys, 20 type alloys, brass and bronze. Marine environments have long been the domain of admiralty bronze. Alloy 255 is replacing admiralty bronze, and the nickel alloys, in offshore platforms, deck hardware, rudders and shafting.
Alloy 255 is also making inroads in "borderline" corrosion applications where the nickel alloys and high performance alloys have been used but may not have been absolutely necessary. In some instances, it has even been used to replace high performance Ni-Cr-Mo-F-Cu alloys in the phosphoric acid industry. Valves, pumps, shafts, marine environments, Applications in down-hole, waste water, polycarbonate production, and demineralized water production.
