    Introduction
    Stainless steel grade 254 SMO™ is a very high end austenitic stainless steel. 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.

    For certain applications, grade 254 SMO™ has been reported to be a cost­effective
    substitute for high nickel and titanium alloys. It is known to possess excellent workability
    as well.

    The following sections will discuss in detail about stainless steel grade 254 SMO™.

    Chemical Composition
    The chemical composition of stainless steel grade 254 SMO™ is outlined in the following

    Fabrication and Heat Treatment

    Machinability
    Stainless steel grade 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
    Welding of stainless steel grade 254 SMO™ requires filler material without which it
    results in poor strength properties. Filler metals such as AWS A5.14 ERNiCrMo­3, and
    alloy 625 are recommended. Electrodes used in the process, have to match with AWS
    A5.11 ENiCrMo­12.

    Annealing
    Annealing of this material should be performed at 1149­1204°C (2100­2200°F), which
    should be followed by a water quench.

    Hot Working
    Forging, upsetting and other operations relating to this material can be performed at 982
    ­ 1149°C (1800 ­ 2100°F). It is recommended that temperatures do not exceed this range
    as it would result in scaling and reduction in the workability of the material. To re­attain
    maximum corrosion resistant properties, it is advisable to perform post­process
    annealing.

    Cold Working
    Cold working can be carried out using all the traditional methods; however the process
    would be tough due to its high work hardening rate. The result will provide the material
    with increased strength and toughness.

    Hardening
    Stainless steel grade 254 SMO™ does not respond to heat treatment. Hardening is
    possible only through cold reduction.

    Applications
    Stainless steel grade 254 SMO™ is used in the following areas:

    Saltwater handling
    Tall oil distillation columns
    Flue gas desulfurization scrubbers
    Components used in petroleum production
    Food processing equipment
    Process equipment in chemical industry
    Bleaching equipment in the pulp and paper industry
    Flue­gas cleaning
    Desalination
    Heat exchangers
