SMO 254Flanges are flange fittings made from an austenitic stainless steel alloy called SMO 254. This alloy contains higher levels of molybdenum, chromium, and nitrogen, providing exceptional resistance to corrosion, especially in highly acidic environments. SMO 254 Flanges are known for their excellent strength, impact resistance & low maintenance requirements. The benefits of SMO 254 Flanges include superior corrosion resistance, even in highly acidic and chloride-rich environments. They offer excellent strength and toughness, making them suitable for demanding applications. Additionally, SMO 254 Flanges require minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and operating costs. Their exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking ensures the reliability and longevity of the system, making them a preferred choice in corrosive environments.
SMO 254 Flanges are made up of an austenitic stainless steel with 19% chromium, 17% nickel and 6% nickel with copper and sulfur in the composition. This unique composition provides the material with high mechanical properties. JN Alloy is a leading supplier and manufacturer of these flanges. The Class 150 SMO UNS S31254 Flanges belong to one of the lower classes among a range of classes ranging from 150 to 2500 and PN6 through PN64. They are strong and corrosion resistant to most corrosive media, especially to chloride ion rich media. There are different types of flanges such as the 254 SMO Orifice Flange and others. All these flanges are strong with 650MPa minimum tensile strength and 300MPa minimum yield strength. The ANSI B16.5 ASTM A182 SMO 254 Blind Flange is one of the types used specifically to close a piping connection. The flanges belong to the specification ASTM A182. They could be specified according to different specifications such as the SMO Werkstoff No 1.4547 Slip-On Flanges as well.
There are other structural types such as the 254 SMO RTJ Flange which is essentially a pair of rings connected to each pipe end.

Alloy 254 SMO Flanges , also known as UNS S31254 or 6Mo Flanges , is a high-performance stainless steel designed to withstand extremely corrosive environments. Its carefully balanced chemical composition enhances both its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, making it ideal for use in challenging conditions.
Major Elements
Chromium (19.5-20.5%): Enhances general corrosion resistance by forming a protective passive layer.
Nickel (17.5-18.5%): Improves ductility and overall corrosion resistance.
Molybdenum (6.0-6.5%): Increases resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments.
Nitrogen (0.18-0.22%): Boosts resistance to corrosion in specific areas and strengthens the alloy.
Copper (0.50-1.00%): Adds extra protection against corrosion in environments containing chlorides and enhances durability.
Minor Elements
Minor elements like carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur are carefully controlled to maintain the alloy’s mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. For example, low carbon content reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during heating, while manganese and silicon improve weldability and strength.
