UNS NO32760 (F55) Round Rods
UNS N07760 (F55) Round Rods are high-performance super duplex stainless steel rods manufactured, stocked, and exported by Rose Metal Industries. Known for their superior corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical strength, these rods are widely used in demanding industries such as chemical processing, offshore oil and gas, marine structures, desalination plants, and power generation facilities. Customers in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Puducherry (Pondicherry), and Andaman & Nicobar Islands depend on these rods for projects requiring durability and long-term reliability..
F55 round rods offer an exceptional combination of high tensile strength and toughness, making them suitable for heavy-duty structural applications. The super duplex microstructure ensures resistance against pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, especially in chloride-rich environments. This makes F55 rods ideal for offshore, marine, and chemical plant applications where standard stainless steels may fail..
ARose Metal Industries supplies UNS N07760 round rods in various diameters and lengths, with options for turned, bright, or polished finishes. The rods conform to international standards such as ASTM A276, ASTM A479, and EN 1.4501, ensuring compliance with global quality benchmarks. Customized sizes, tolerances, and surface finishes are available to meet specific client requirements for fabrication, machining, and construction projects..
The chemical composition of F55 round rods typically includes 24–26% chromium, 6–8% nickel, 3–5% molybdenum, and 0.24–0.32% nitrogen, along with low carbon content (≤0.03%) for excellent corrosion resistance. These elements contribute to superior pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, especially in aggressive marine and industrial environments..
In terms of mechanical properties, UNS N07760 round rods exhibit tensile strength up to 830–850 MPa, yield strength around 550 MPa, and elongation of ≥15%, providing a robust combination of strength, ductility, and hardness. These properties make them ideal for critical load-bearing applications, structural supports, and components exposed to harsh environmental conditions..
Typical applications of F55 round rods include offshore oil and gas platforms, chemical processing equipment, desalination plants, marine hardware, power plant structural supports, and high-strength industrial fabrication. Their combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and durability makes them an essential material for industries requiring long service life and minimal maintenance..
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between UNS N07760 (F55) and standard stainless steel?
A: F55 is a super duplex stainless steel with higher corrosion resistance, higher tensile strength, and superior resistance to pitting and stress corrosion cracking compared to standard 304 or 316 stainless steel.
Q2: Do you provide mill test certificates (MTC)?
A: Yes — Rose Metal Industries issues MTCs and can facilitate third-party inspection and PMI/chemical analysis on request.
Q3: What standards do your round rods comply with?
A: UNS N07760 round rods comply with ASTM A276 / A479 and EN 1.4501 standards to meet international quality and project requirements.
Q4: Can you supply custom diameters, lengths, and surface finishes?
A: Yes — cut-to-length rods, turned/bright finish, polished and custom tolerances are available. Contact our sales team for details.
Q5: What are the typical applications for F55 round rods?
A: Applications include offshore, chemical, desalination, marine, power plant, and industrial fabrication where high corrosion resistance and superior strength are required.
