Super Duplex 2507 cold finished bar in UNS S32750 (EN 1.4410) is hot-rolled bar that has been further processed by drawing, peeling or centreless grinding to deliver a tighter diameter tolerance and a bright surface. Cold-finished stock is the workhorse for CNC bar-feed turning and for fastener cold-heading where the OD must be held to h9 / h10 / h11 ISO tolerance and the surface must be free of mill scale. TorqBolt holds 2507 cold finished bar from 6 mm through 80 mm at the Mumbai warehouse, with EN 10204 Type 3.1 certificates and Type 3.2 third-party-witnessed on request.
The bar is supplied to ASTM A479 for stainless steel bar in pressure-vessel service and ASTM A484 for general dimensional tolerance. Sour-service certification per NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 is available with controlled hardness and ferrite content.
| Process | Diameter | Tolerance |

| Centreless ground (CG) | 6 mm to 60 mm | h9 typical |
| Length | 3.0 to 6.0 m random, cut-to-length on request | |
| Surface roughness | Ra 0.8 to 1.6 micron drawn, Ra 0.4 to 0.8 ground | |
Per ASTM A479 designation S32750: 25Cr-7Ni-3.5Mo-0.3N. Copper is restricted to 0.50 max as residual, not intentional. PREN of 41 or higher.

Cold-drawn bar (CDS) is pulled through a die after solution annealing to size the OD and produce a bright finish. Peeling removes the as-rolled scale layer with a single-pass turning cut, leaving Ra 0.8 to 1.6 micron. Centreless grinding finishes diameter and roundness to h9 and a Ra 0.4 to 0.8 micron surface, suitable for hydraulic shafts and seal mating surfaces.
h9 (about 0 to minus 0.043 mm at 25 mm) is the standard. h10 and h11 (looser) are available where downstream machining will resize the OD. Tighter tolerances by negotiation, typically with peel-and-grind processing.
CNC bar feeders need diameter consistency and a bright surface to grip without slip. Hot-rolled bar with mill scale wears feeder collets and creates dimensional variation that ruins automatic part programs. Cold-finished bar drops directly into the bar feeder and runs without re-sizing.
Light cold work (drawing for sizing) raises hardness slightly but stays inside the A479 envelope. Heavy cold work (cold-heading for fasteners) work-hardens the surface and must be relieved by solution anneal and water quench to recover the 35 to 55 percent ferrite balance. TorqBolt cold-headed 2507 fasteners are always re-annealed.
Yes, after solution anneal the bar meets NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 with 28 HRC max hardness and ferrite within the 35 to 65 percent band. Heavily cold-worked sections must be re-annealed to qualify.
No, copper is not an intentional alloying element in UNS S32750. ASTM A479 permits 0.50 max as residual, not intentional. Copper-bearing super duplex grades (Zeron 100 S32760, Ferralium 255 S32550) are different alloys.
