Quantity
Super Duplex Steel 2507 Bolts are manufactured from premium S32750 material, compliant with international standards including ASTM, ANSI, and DIN. Available in sizes ranging from 5/16"to 4"(30mm to 3000mm) with Grade A/12.9 strength classification. These bolts deliver exceptional corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and stress cracking resistance, specifically engineered for demanding applications in chemical processing, petrochemical, and subsea equipment - making them ideal fasteners for high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-chloride environments.
Super Duplex Stainless Steel 2507 (UNS S32750) combines near-nickel-alloy corrosion resistance and mechanical properties at significantly lower cost, establishing Super Duplex Steel 2507 Bolts as the economical choice for highly corrosive environments. Compared to nickel alloys like Hastelloy (C276, C22) and Inconel 625, 2507 demonstrates clear advantages in chloride resistance, mechanical strength, and procurement costs for high-strength fastening applications across petrochemical, offshore, and acidic environments.
1. Cost Comparison: 2507 vs. Nickel Alloys
Nickel alloys' high costs stem from ≥50% nickel content and precious metal additions (Mo, Cr), while Super Duplex Steel 2507 Bolts contain only 6-8% nickel for superior cost efficiency:

| Material | Typical Composition (wt%) | Ni Content (%) | Market Price (¥/ton, 2024) |
| 2507 (S32750) | Cr25-Ni7-Mo3.5-N0.28 | 7 | 60,000–80,000 |
| Hastelloy C276 | Ni57-Cr16-Mo16-W4-Fe5 | 57 | 350,000–450,000 |
| Inconel 625 | Ni58-Cr21-Mo9-Nb3 | 58 | 300,000–400,000 |
Cost Advantages:
- Super Duplex Steel 2507 Bolts cost merely 1/5–1/6 of Hastelloy C276 bolts and 1/4–1/5 of Inconel 625 bolts.
- Compared to 6Mo super austenitic stainless steels (e.g., 254SMO), 2507 offers 30–40% cost savings while maintaining equivalent PREN (≥40).
