ASTM A479 UNS S31254 Round Bars Overview
ASTM A479 UNS S31254 round bar also known as S31254, 1.4547 or 6% Molybdenum grade, offers high corrosion resistance, especially in aggressive chloride-containing environments. The high molybdenum content in SMO 254 material improves pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, stress corrosion cracking resistance, high temperature strength, and enhanced durability and toughness. Making UNS S31254 6MO an ideal material choice for chemical processing, oil and gas, and seawater applications.
