SMO 254 Forged Fittings
- SMO 254 is a super austenitic stainless steel with high molybdenum, nitrogen content, and excellent strength, Compared with traditional austenitic stainless steel (such as 316L), it has pitting and crevice corrosion resistance and high strength.
- SMO 254 has excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, cold tube forming, and can be used at temperatures up to 120°C without annealing. SMO 254 products are just one of high resistance alloy products at our premises.
- These SMO 254 products are available in various forms such as SMO 254 Pipe Fittings, SMO 254 Butt-weld Fittings, SMO 254 Socket weld Fittings, SMO 254 Forged Fittings, SMO 254 Threaded Fittings, SMO 254 Flanges, 254 SMO Tube Fittings, and many more.
- The alloy is suitable for the chemical processing industry, offshore oil and gas platform process systems, and seawater desalination plants.
- This alloy is not easy to process and is much more difficult than ‘ordinary’ austenitic stainless steel such as 304 and 316.
- SMO 254 fittings are an economical alternative for lower-pressure applications.
- SMO 254 fittings have a thicker wall for higher-pressure applications.
Weldability
- The chemical analysis of SMO Grade 254 shows that when the solder cools, ferrite and austenite are formed to provide hot crack resistance.
- A post-weld anneal is recommended, as is consultation with the product manufacturer regarding welding parameters.
- SMO 254 Forged Fittings (UNS S31254) austenitic stainless steel is designed for maximum resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
- SMO 254 Forged Fittings is developed for use in halide-containing environments such as seawater.
