Alloy 20 is a high-performance alloy used wherever standard fasteners cannot meet the corrosion, temperature, or strength envelope. TorqBolt manufactures the full Alloy 20 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.
Alloy 20 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.
Alloy 20 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, NORSOK M-650, API 6A (wellhead), API 20E (subsea bolting), PED 2014/68/EU. Third-party inspection by TUV, Lloyd's, BV, DNV, SGS, and Intertek arrangeable on order.
Super-austenitic stainless steels are high-Mo (≥6%), high-N austenitic alloys with chloride-pitting resistance approaching duplex grades while retaining austenitic formability.
254 SMO (S31254) is the benchmark with PREN ~43. 904L (N08904) is the original 4.5% Mo super-austenitic for sulfuric-acid plants. Alloy 20 (N08020) is Cu-bearing for hot sulfuric acid. AL-6XN (N08367) extends pitting resistance with 6.5%+ Mo.
Super-austenitic fasteners ship per ASTM A276 / A479 with ASTM G48 Method A pitting testing. Welding requires Ni-base filler (alloy 625 / C-276) to avoid Mo segregation.
