Alloy 254

Alloys 254 / 254 SMO / 6 Mo is an austenitic stainless steel with a high molybdenum content. Coupled with Nickel and Copper this gives the alloy a good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, especially in environments containing halide ions, e.g. chloride, bromide and fluoride solutions.

254 SMO (UNS S31254) may offer a cost effective solution to Nickel and Titanium alloys in these environments.
