S32760 Super Duplex is a high-performance alloy used wherever standard fasteners cannot meet the corrosion, temperature, or strength envelope. TorqBolt manufactures the full S32760 Super Duplex fastener range — bolts, nuts, screws, washers, studs, and custom forgings — under one ISO 9001:2015 quality system, with PED 2014/68/EU module-H qualification for pressure-equipment service.
S32760 Super Duplex is specified in oil & gas wellhead components, refinery heat exchangers, petrochemical reactors, power-generation turbines, marine offshore platforms, and pharmaceutical / food-grade processing. Its corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and weldability make it the default for service conditions outside the carbon and standard-stainless envelope.
S32760 Super Duplex fasteners are supplied with EN 10204 3.1 (mill cert) or 3.2 (third-party witnessed) material test reports as standard. Additional certification packages: NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 (sour service), NORSOK M-650 (subsea / topside), API 6A (wellhead), API 20E (subsea bolting), PED 2014/68/EU (pressure equipment). Third-party inspection by TUV, Lloyd's, BV, DNV, SGS, and Intertek arrangeable on order.
Stock items in standard S32760 Super Duplex fastener sizes ship in 1–2 weeks; custom-manufactured items in 4–6 weeks subject to material availability. Diameters M6–M100 and 1/4"–4", lengths 10 mm–3000 mm covered in-house; oversize / non-standard sizes quoted to specification.
Duplex stainless steels have a roughly 50/50 ferrite-austenite microstructure, doubling the yield strength of austenitic 304/316 grades while improving chloride pitting + stress-corrosion resistance. Duplex is the modern default for offshore platform fasteners, desalination plants, and sour-gas piping where austenitics fail to chloride SCC and martensitics fail to hydrogen embrittlement.
Duplex 2205 (UNS S32205 / S31803) is the standard grade with PREN ~35, suitable for chloride-bearing service to ~250°C. Super Duplex 2507 (S32750) and Zeron 100 (S32760) push PREN to 41-42 with higher Cr+Mo+N, qualifying for the most aggressive seawater + sour-well environments. SA-182 F51 / F53 / F55 / F60 are the ASME forged-flange equivalents.
Phase balance is critical: ferrite content must stay within 35-65% in weld + HAZ to maintain corrosion + impact properties (ASTM A923 testing). Solution anneal at 1040-1100°C followed by water quench locks the duplex microstructure. Fasteners ship per ASTM A276 / A479 with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certs including ferrite count and Charpy impact at -46°C. NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 sour-service certification is standard.
