Alloy 254 SMO, commonly known as UNS S31254 is a super austenitic stainless steel, containing higher proportions of chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen, enabling high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. 254 SMO is also referred to as one of the most widely used 6% Moly grade piping products.
254 SMO is around 50% stronger than 300-series austenitic stainless steels and is mainly suitable for high-chloride environments, as it offers chloride resistance superior to that of Alloy 904L Alloy 20 and Alloy 825. It is also characterized by high ductility and impact strength.
wilsonpipeline Pipe Industry Co., Limited is a leading manufacturer and supplier of stainless steel alloy 254 SMO flanges, pipe, tube, pipe fittings, wire, forgings, flanges, and fasteners including; nuts, bolts, sockets, washers and more.
254 SMO flanges, pipes and tubing’s are widely supplied from stock to serve varied purposes including manufacture of process equipment for chemical industry, pulp and paper industry, gas cleaning systems, desalination, seawater handling, and manufacture of heat exchangers.
In many applications, alloy 254 SMO flanges, pipes, tubing and pipe fittings products have been found technically adequate and more cost effective compared to nickel based alloys and titanium grades.
