Duplex U Bolt – Premium Corrosion-Resistant Fastener

The Duplex U Bolt is crafted for demanding environments where strength, stability, and corrosion resistance are paramount. Engineered from premium duplex stainless steel (UNS S32205 / 2205), it offers exceptional mechanical strength and resistance to chloride-induced corrosion, making it ideal for marine, chemical, and industrial applications.

Imagine securing your critical pipelines or machinery with a fastener that not only holds firm but also withstands harsh weather, saltwater exposure, or chemical splashes without losing its structural integrity. The smooth, polished surface feels refined to the touch and adds a sleek visual finish, while the precision threading ensures a snug fit that minimizes vibration and loosening over time.

Every Duplex U Bolt is manufactured to precise DIN, ASTM, or ISO standards, ensuring reliability in every application. Whether used in offshore oil rigs, chemical plants, or structural installations, this fastener delivers confidence and peace of mind, combining durability with aesthetic appeal.

Key Features & Highlights

• Superior Strength: Crafted from duplex stainless steel, offering higher tensile strength than conventional 304 or 316 stainless steel.

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Resists rust, pitting, and stress corrosion in saltwater, chemical, and industrial environments.

• Customizable Dimensions: Available in a wide range of diameters, thread lengths, and sizes to suit specialized applications.

• Precision Engineering: Threading and bend tolerances meet stringent industrial standards for secure and consistent fastening.

• Versatile Surface Treatments: Plain, polished, passivated, or zinc-plated finishes enhance appearance and provide additional protection.

• Easy Installation: Smooth threads and uniform bend design reduce installation time while ensuring stable performance.

Material & Corrosion Resistance

Duplex stainless steel (UNS S32205 / 2205) combines the best of austenitic and ferritic structures, delivering a unique balance of strength and corrosion resistance. Its dual-phase microstructure ensures:

• High Mechanical Strength: Up to twice the tensile strength of standard austenitic stainless steel.

• Chloride Stress Corrosion Resistance: Perfect for marine, offshore, and chemical processing applications.

• Temperature Stability: Performs reliably under high and low-temperature conditions without distortion or weakening.

• Longevity: Maintains structural integrity for decades, even under harsh environmental exposure.

Surface treatments further enhance corrosion protection: polishing smooths micro-crevices where corrosion could initiate, passivation removes surface contaminants, and zinc plating adds sacrificial protection.

Surface Treatment & Finish

The finishing of the Duplex U Bolt is critical both for performance and visual appeal:

• Plain Finish: Natural, untreated steel, ideal for controlled environments.

• Polished Finish: Smooth, reflective surface reduces surface crevices and enhances corrosion resistance.

• Passivated Finish: Removes contaminants, strengthens passive oxide layer, maximizing chemical resistance.

• Zinc-Plated: Provides sacrificial protection for aggressive environments.

Each finish is meticulously applied to maintain uniformity, aesthetics, and mechanical precision.

Applications & Use Cases

The Duplex U Bolt excels in demanding environments where safety and reliability are non-negotiable:

• Marine & Offshore: Ideal for securing piping and equipment exposed to saltwater.

• Chemical Processing: Resists corrosion from aggressive chemicals and acidic conditions.

• Mechanical Equipment: Ensures stable fastening in vibration-prone machinery.

• Structural Installations: Supports heavy-duty construction frameworks with lasting reliability.

By choosing the Duplex U Bolt, engineers and project managers gain confidence that their installations remain secure and corrosion-free for years, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs.
