254SMO, UNS S31254, W.Nr. 1.4547
Note that the designation “254SMO®” is registered trademarks of theOutokumpu.
254SMO is a super austenitic stainless steel with the specific levels of Cr, Ni, Mo, and N. It is designed with a combination of impact toughness resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, and pitting and crevice corrosion with strength that is twice that of the stainless steel 300 series. 254SMO is often referred to as a“6% Moly”grade due to the molybdenum content, the 6% Moly family has the ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain strength under volatile conditions. In some applications, 254SMO has been a more cost effective substitute for high nickel and titanium alloys.

254SMO offers excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion due to its high chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen content. The low carbon content, which means there is very little risk of carbide precipitation during heating. It also has high resistance to corrosion cracking and have excellent ductility and impact strength at both ambient and sub-zero temperatures. Also, 254SMO material possesses very good resistance in water containing chlorides, therefore, it is suitable for use in seawater as it can be exposed to it for prolonged periods without suffering from crevice corrosion.
254 SMO is quite tough to machine due to the extremely high work hardening rate and lack of sulfur content. However using sharp tools, overpowered machine tools, positive feeds, good amount of lubrication, and slow speeds tend to provide good machining results.
Welding of 254SMO stainless steel requires filler material without which it results in poor strength properties. Filler metals such as AWS A5.14ERNiCrMo-3, and alloy 625 are recommende.
