The consistent internal grain structure allows the ASTM A479 Ferralium 255 bar to be machined into strong components like shafts, couplings, rods, fasteners, sprockets and more. Its natural hardness facilitates the fabrication of items such as fixtures, mounts, braces, sleeves and bushings as well.

For example, excavation equipment utilizes slide roller pins, idler wheel axles, and rig stabilizer pillars made from this bar due to its durability. General fabrication purposes like press brake accessories and machine slides also employ Ferralium steel for its machining ease. The round shape enables even load distribution for attachments like brackets, extensions and lifters. This prevents uneven wear over long periods of demanding operation.

The balanced composition enables heat treatments to enhance the surface hardness of components without compromising inherent strength. Despite continuous torque loads, parts like gears, shafts and couplings retain dimensional stability. The material’s shock resistance protects human operators near heavy machinery. It also enables steady power transmission and connectivity of drive systems through sustained vibration.

UNS S32550 Round Bar provides versatile mechanical attributes for extensive fabrication and machining uses across sectors. Its chromium-nickel composition and circular profile contribute to strength, longevity and safety. Components from this bar withstand demanding conditions while maintaining reliability.
