Austenitic Stainless Steel 254SMO
254SMO 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. The strength of 254SMO is twice that of the stainless steel 300 series. 254SMO has been reported to be a cost-effective substitute for high nickel and titanium alloys.
