View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

AVESTA 254 SMO was developed for use in halide-containing environments. Its high molybdenum content, along with the copper addition, provides a material with excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion as well as good general corrosion resistance, especially in halide-containing acids. In addition, its high nitrogen content results in superior strength when compared with other austenitic stainless steels. Typical applications for Avesta 254 SMO involve seawater contact, scrubbers and high-halide level tanks and piping.
