254 SMO Fasteners: Superior Corrosion Resistance for Demanding Applications

RAYCHIN LIMITED – Your Trusted Partner for High-Performance Fastening Solutions


Introduction to 254 SMO Fasteners


254 SMO fasteners, manufactured from high-performance super austenitic stainless steel, are engineered to excel in extreme corrosive environments. With a high molybdenum (6.0–6.5%) and nitrogen (0.18–0.22%) content, these fasteners exhibit exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC), particularly in chloride-rich settings . Their PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number) ≥ 42 ensures reliability in aggressive media, making them ideal for industries like marine engineering, chemical processing, and oil & gas.


Key Applications of 254 SMO Fasteners


· Marine & Offshore Engineering: Ideal for seawater-handling systems, desalination plants, and offshore platforms, 254 SMO bolts, 254 SMO nuts, and 254 SMO washers resist saltwater corrosion and biofouling .

· Oil & Gas Industry: Used in wellhead components, pipelines, and valves exposed to sour gas (H₂S) and high-pressure environments.

· Chemical & Process Engineering: Suitable for reactors, heat exchangers, and piping systems handling acids, chlorides, and oxidizing agents.

· Pollution Control Systems: Essential in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) units and waste treatment equipment, where resistance to acidic slurries and chlorides is critical.

· Pulp & Paper Manufacturing: Employed in bleaching equipment and digesters to withstand corrosive chemicals like chlorides and sulfuric acid.


Critical Factors for Selecting 254 SMO Fasteners


1. Corrosion Resistance Requirements:

· Verify environmental exposure (e.g., chloride concentration, pH levels) to ensure 254 SMO fasteners meet PREN ≥ 42 standards.

2. Mechanical Strength:

· Tensile strength ≥ 650 MPa and yield strength ≥ 300 MPa provide structural integrity under high stress.

3. Temperature Suitability:

· Perform effectively in temperatures ranging from -50°C to 300°C, maintaining stability in cryogenic and elevated-temperature applications.

4. Fabrication & Installation:

· Use anti-galling lubricants during torque application to prevent thread seizure.

· Ensure compatibility with mating components (e.g., 254 SMO washers with 254 SMO bolts) to avoid galvanic corrosion.
