ASME SA 240 S31254 Stainless Steel Plate Ultra SMO254 UNS S31254
Metal Plate
254 SMO Super Austenitic Stainless Steel Plate
UNS S31254
254 SMO stainless steel bar, also known as UNS S31254, was
originally developed for use in seawater and other aggressive
chloride-bearing environments. This grade is considered a very high
end austenitic stainless steel; mainly comprised of between 19.5%
and 20.5% chromium, 17.5% to 18.5% nickel, 6% to 6.5% molybdenum
and .18% to .22% nitrogen. These specific levels of Cr, Ni, Mo, and
N in this “super austenitic” chemical makeup allow 31254 to combine
impact toughness resistance to corrosion cracking, with pitting and
crevice corrosion resistance. The result is strength of nearly
twice that of 300 series stainless steels.
UNS S31254 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.
This grade has surpassed its original intent and overlapped into
many industries proving useful owing to its high level of
molybdenum amount other elements, which allows 31254 to be used
successfully in various applications such as Flue gas
desulfurization and Chemical environments.
Industries that use 31254 include:
- Chemical
- Desalination
- Flue gas desulfurization
- Food processing
- Pharmaceutical
- Pulp and Paper
Products partially or completely constructed of 31254 include:
- Chemical processing equipment
- Desalination equipment
- Flue gas desulfurization scrubbers
- Food processing equipment
- Heat exchangers
- Hydrometallurgy
- Oil and gas production equipment
- Pulp mill bleach systems
- Seawater handling equipment
- Tall oil distillation columns and equipment

Common Applications for 254SMO
254SMO is used frequently in the following applications –
- Equipment in pulp bleaching plants
- Components in gas cleaning systems
- Equipment for handling seawater, such as heat exchangers, ballast
water systems, firefighting systems
- and cooling water systems.
254SMO and other super austenitics have been specified for marine
scrubbers, as their intermittent use can result in operating
temperatures >250degC. However, super duplex stainless steels
have been successfully used in flue gas desulphurization systems
for power stations, as continuous operation results in lower
temperatures. Super austenitics such as 254SMO have been
substituted by super duplex stainless steels in water treatment
systems, such as RO/desalination.
