The highly alloyed grade 6 percent moly or 254 SMO, which belongs to the austenitic stainless steel class, is one of the most corrosion-resistant alloys now on the market. The 6 Moly 254 SMO hex bar is a flexible alloy with exceptional qualities and the capacity to endure numerous corrosive environments. The primary motivation for developing this notion was to create a metal that could be employed in marine engineering while also being resistant to hostile chlorine-containing mediums.
Because of this, the development of A276 6Mo UNS S31254 Rod resolves the problem, since the substance demonstrates excellent resistance to stress related corrosion cracking, or SCC. In marine conditions, it is typical to see standard austenitic stainless steel alloys like grade 304 degrade through pitting. The SMO 254 Welding Rod has a PREN, or Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number, of 42.5, which indicates that it has a very strong resistance to pitting in comparison to grade 304.
Comparing the SMO 254 Bright Bars to a few common austenitic stainless steel alloys, the mechanical strength is also higher. In fact, the 254 SMO Round Bar has a mechanical strength that is nearly twice as high as the 300 series stainless steel. This is because Chromium, Nickel, Molybdenum, and Nitrogen have been added to the chemical composition of alloy 254, which also makes it a super austenitic stainless steel grade.
These SMO 254 Rods (UNS S31254) are utilised in a variety of applications, including the treatment of saltwater, tall oil distillation columns, flue gas desulfurization scrubbers, and petroleum production-related parts. Erosion and corrosion are well resisted by SMO 254 Bars. This alloy works well with the majority of standard cold work techniques. Additionally, 254 SMO Round Bars are utilised in bleaching systems for pulp mills, food and chemical processing equipment, and more. A modest heat input must be used while welding 254 SMO Rods since they are a little more susceptible to hot cracking. Compared to austenitic stainless steels from the 300-series, 254 SMO Bars are 50% stronger. Additionally, we provide these goods in a variety of standard and unique requirements.
