The austenitic structure of 316 stainless steel provides excellent toughness even at low temperatures.
SMO 254 ERW piping is commonly used in seawater desalination, flue-gas cleaning, heat exchangers, etc. SMO 254 Welded Pipe is a very high end molybdenum and nitrogen alloyed super austenitic stainless steel with a low carbon content.
SMO 254 tube is highly alloyed and has corrosion resistance comparable to high performance austenitic steels. SMO 254 seamless pipe does not corrode, rust or get wet like regular steel.
The oxidation corrosion resistance and corrosion resistance of acid solutions and halide solutions required for the production of bleached paper such as 254SMO are comparable to the most elastic of the Nitinol base alloys.
