About Super Duplex Steel Ferralium 255 Plates
Ferralium 255, a remarkable grade of Super Duplex Steel, is renowned for its optimal strength and corrosion resistance. Manufactured by refining the chemical composition, this alloy is a fascinating blend of chromium, molybdenum,
nickel, and nitrogen, among other elements. Such a strategic combination of metals bestows exceptional mechanical properties upon Ferralium 255 Plates, making them a popular choice for heavy-duty industrial applications. Furthermore, the presence of nitrogen not only elevates their already impressive resilience but also contributes to their weldability, ensuring seamless integration into a wide array of environments.
Superior Corrosion and Heat ResistanceFerralium 255 plates exhibit advanced resistance to pitting, crevice, and general corrosion, making them ideal for aggressive industries such as desalination, marine, and chemical processing. With oxidation resistance up to 600C, they maintain their integrity and performance in elevated temperature environments, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
Customization and Quality AssuranceAvailable in thicknesses from 5 mm to 100 mm and widths up to 2500 mm, these plates are manufactured as per international standards (ASTM, ASME, EN, DIN) and undergo ultrasonic testing for impeccable quality. Packaging meets export standards, using waterproof wrapping and wooden pallets, and the plates are delivered in custom sizes and finishes as required.
Seamless Processing and VersatilityWith excellent weldability suitable for most welding techniques, and each plate offered in either sheared or mill edge, Ferralium 255 facilitates easy fabrication and integration into marine, oil & gas, and industrial applications. Its slightly magnetic nature and mill or polished finish options provide additional versatility for diverse operational demands.
