254SMO Stainless Steel Seamless Pipe Tube / UNS S31254 Stainless Steel SS Pipe ERW Pipe
ASME SA 213 ASTM A213 ASTM A269 S31254 254 SMO EN 10216-5 1.4547 Alloy 6Mo X1CrNiMoCuN20-18-7 Tubing is an superaustenitic stainless steel designed for maximum resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. With high levels of chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen, 254SMo is especially suited for high chloride environments such as brackish water seawater pulp mill bleach plants and other high chloride process streams. 254SMO Pipe offer chloride resistance superior to that of Alloy 904L, Alloy 20, Alloy 825 and Alloy G. Copper improved corrosion resistance in some of the acid . In addition, due to its high content of nickel,chromium and molybdenum, so that 254SMO S31254 Tubing has a good stress corrosion cracking performance.
254 SMO S31254 Tubing is compatible with the common austenitic stainless steels. In new construction, 254SMo has been found in many cases to be a technically adequate and much less costly substitute for nickel based alloys and titanium. 254SMo is substantially stronger than the common austenitic grade, also characterized by high ductility and impact strength. 254SMo is readily fabricated and welded.
254 SMO S31254 Tubing is face-centered cubic lattice structure. In order to obtain austenitic structure, 254 SMO S31254 Tubing general annealing in the 1150-1200°C. In some cases, the material may have traces of metal middle phase (χ phase and α-phase). However,their impact strength and corrosion resistance are not adversely affected in normal circumstances. When placed in the range of 600-1000°C, they may phase in the grain boundary precipitation.

254 SMo S31254 Tubing with very low carbon content, which means that the danger by the heating caused of carbide precipitation is very small. Even in the 600-1000°C after one hour sensitization still able to Strauss through the intergranular corrosion test (Strauss Test ASTMA262 order E).However, because of the high-alloy steel content. In the above-mentioned temperature range intermetallic phase with the possibility of metal in the grain boundary precipitation. These sediments do not make it occur intergranular corrosion in the corrosive media applications, then,welding can be carried out without intergranular corrosion.But in the heat of concentrated nitric acid, these sediments may be caused intergranular corrosion in heat-affected zone. If ordinary stainless steel in the solution that containing chloride, bromide or iodide,it will show pitting, crevice corrosion or stress corrosion cracking form by localized corrosion. However, in some cases,the existence of halide will speed up the uniform corrosion.
Particularly in the non-oxidizing acid. In pure sulfuric acid, 254 SMo S31254 Tubing with a much greater corrosion resistance than 316(common stainless steel),but with abated corrosion resistance compared to 904L (NO8904) stainless steel in high concentrations. In the sulfuric acid containing chloride ions , 254 SMo S31254 Tubing with the largest corrosion resistance ability.The 316 can not be used for stainless steel in hydrochloric acid since it may occur localized corrosion and uniform corrosion, but 254 SMo S31254 Tubing can be used in diluted hydrochloric acid in general temperatures,uder the border region do not need to worry about corrosion occurred. However, we must try to avoid the gap cracks. In the fluoride silicate (H2SiF4) and hydrofluoric acid (HF), the corrosion resistance of ordinary stainless steel is very limited, and 254 SMo S31254 Tubing can be used in a very wide temperature and concentration.
The most corrosion resistant stainless steel contains 6% to 7.3% Mo. Such as 254SMo alloy steel are used as power plant condensers, subsea pipelines, and key components of nuclear power plants, such as industrial water pipelines.
