PRODUCT OVERVIEW
About Alloy 59 Centreless-Ground Rod
Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod arrives in UNS N06059, the low-iron nickel-chromium-molybdenum grade for mixed acid duty. Iron and silicon at 1.5% and 0.10% maximum hold this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod close to a clean solution.
Grinding holds this rod inside the Table 2 band, and we fix the runout at order entry. We supply this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod to ASTM B574 and ASME SB574 in hot-worked, annealed and cold-drawn states, with the ASTM B564 forging route above 88.9 mm. Every consignment of this centreless-ground rod leaves with a heat-number record, the anneal and quench route actually used and a set of EN 10204 3.1 papers.
Meanwhile, that lean matrix is what lets this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod keep its passive film through an upset. The full chemistry window and the physical data behind this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod sit on our Alloy 59 material page for cross-reference.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Key Features of Alloy 59 Centreless-Ground Rod
Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod arrives in UNS N06059, the low-iron nickel-chromium-molybdenum grade that holds iron to 1.5% and silicon to 0.10%, so one matrix covers both acid families. We supply ASTM B574 centreless-ground rod ground to the tight band, polished on request for mixed acid plant, flue gas desulphurisation and sour service. Every Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod consignment travels with heat-number traceability, EN 10204 3.1 mill test reports and full export documentation.
Alloy 59
Iron at the Floor
For example, 1.5% iron in this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod is a quarter of the ceiling C-276 allows, which steadies the passive film.
01
Two Acid Families at Once
Specifically, chromium at 22.0–24.0% and molybdenum at 15.0–16.5% carry this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod through both families.
02
Pitting Equivalent at the Top
Moreover, the lean matrix lifts the pitting resistance equivalent of this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod to the head of the wrought nickel family.
03
Silicon and Carbon Held Low
Therefore, silicon at 0.10% and carbon at 0.010% keep the weld zone of this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod stable without a furnace pass.
04
Cold Work Sets the Strength
In addition, this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod takes nothing from aging, so drawing is the only route above the annealed floor.
05
No Hardness Figure Quoted
Besides, ASTM B574 prints no hardness ceiling for this grade, so we release this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod on chemistry and tensile results.
06
Sour Service Listed
Consequently, NACE MR0175 lists this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod at the condition the standard sets rather than at an invented figure.
07
Non-Magnetic in Service
Finally, the annealed matrix keeps this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod non-magnetic for instrument and seal work.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Technical Specifications
Detailed technical information including chemical composition, mechanical properties, standards and available dimensions.
Chemical Composition
ASTM B574 fixes the UNS N06059 window that governs this centreless-ground rod, holding iron to 1.5% maximum and capping silicon at 0.10%. In addition, chromium runs between 22.0% and 24.0% in this centreless-ground rod, while molybdenum sits between 15.0% and 16.5%.
Meanwhile, the full composition table on the Alloy 59 material page sets every element against its ASTM B574 limit for this centreless-ground rod.
Mechanical Properties
The floors in the table below come from the ASTM B574 bar table for UNS N06059. Therefore, the ordered condition and the ruling section settle final acceptance of Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod.
| Condition and Grade | Tensile Strength, min. | Yield Strength (0.2%), min. | Elongation, min. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solution Annealed — UNS N06059 | ≥690 MPa (100 ksi) | ≥310 MPa (45 ksi) | 45% |
- ASTM B574 carries three columns in Table 5 and prints no hardness requirement against N06059, so release rests on chemistry and tensile results rather than on an indenter reading. Besides, the title of that document limits it to rod and bar, and clause 1.2 stops the bar route at 88.9 mm. Therefore, work above that diameter moves onto the ASTM B564 forging route, where we agree the test position instead of assuming it.
Physical Properties
Published references place the density of this centreless-ground rod near 8.6 g/cm³ and its melting range at 1310–1360 °C. Moreover, an elastic modulus close to 210 GPa and a relative permeability of 1.001 maximum keep this centreless-ground rod effectively non-magnetic in service.
Therefore, the physical properties table on the Alloy 59 material page carries the conductivity, the resistivity and the remaining design values behind this centreless-ground rod.
Heat Treatment
The water quench is the step that defines this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod, because the section has to fall from the anneal to about 500 °C faster than 150 °C per minute. Moreover, a section deformed beyond 15% returns to that anneal before it enters service.
| Condition | Typical Treatment |
|---|---|
| Solution Annealed | Held between 1100 °C and 1180 °C and water quenched, with about 1120 °C the preferred figure |
| Cooling Rate | Better than 150 °C per minute from the anneal down to about 500 °C, or grain-boundary phases form |
| Hot-Worked | Forged or rolled between 1180 °C and 950 °C, with heavy reduction taken at the top of that band |
| Cold-Drawn | Drawn after the anneal, in one of the three graded strength levels that Table 3 defines |
| Cold-Forming Limit | Deformation beyond 15% sends the section back through the final solution anneal before service |
| Stress-Relief Caution | A relief pass inside the precipitation band still costs corrosion resistance, so the alternative is settled before it is booked |
| Post-Weld Anneal | Most joints enter service as welded, because the low carbon and silicon levels keep the weld zone stable |
Standards
ASTM B574 is the principal UNS N06059 rod and bar document for this centreless-ground rod, issued by ASTM International. Moreover, ASME SB574 covers pressure equipment built from this centreless-ground rod while ASTM B564 takes over above 88.9 mm.
| Standard | Product or Application |
|---|---|
| ASTM B574 / ASME SB574 | Nickel-chromium-molybdenum rod and bar, solution annealed |
| ASTM B564 / ASME SB564 | Forgings and forging stock above the bar window |
| NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 | Sour service, listed at the highest test level |
Beyond that, the standards table on the Alloy 59 material page carries the European designations, the tubular documents and the flat-product call-outs for this centreless-ground rod.
Dimensions
The table below lists the Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod sizes we ship most often, while the route, the document and the lot size decide what else is possible. Please confirm your own size, section and length with the inquiry.
| Product Form | Typical Supply | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Centreless-Ground Rod | 19.05–88.9 mm dia., ±0.25 mm band | Cut to length |
| Ground Rod, First Band | 6.35–11.11 mm dia., ±0.30 mm band | Cut to length |
| Ground Rod, Second Band | 11.11–15.87 mm dia., ±0.36 mm band | Cut to length |
| Ground Rod, Third Band | 15.87–19.05 mm dia., ±0.41 mm band | Cut to length |
| Polished Ground Rod | Ground then polished to a lower roughness | Cut to length |
| Custom Ground Rod | To drawing with runout agreed | Custom |
Table 2 of ASTM B574 gives the cold-worked band a tighter window than the annealed band, so this page carries the tolerance rather than the alloy story alone. In addition, state the runout and the surface you need, because grinding settles both.
Surface Finishes
For this centreless-ground rod, the finish decides how the part feeds, seals and resists attack. Therefore, we fix the surface condition on this Alloy 59 centreless-ground rod when the order opens.
| Surface Condition | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Centreless Ground | Grinding holds the diameter and the straightness of this centreless-ground rod for pump spindles and valve stems. |
| Bright Annealed | An anneal under protective atmosphere keeps this centreless-ground rod oxide-free for instrument and vacuum duty. |
| Polished | A finer surface on this centreless-ground rod for product-contact and visible parts. |
In contrast, the surface finishes table on the Alloy 59 material page lists the further conditions we can quote for this centreless-ground rod.
