ASTM A403 UNS S31254 pipe fittings are a specific grade of stainless steel belonging to the austenitic category. It is also known by the trade name “6Mo” and provides excellent corrosion resistance in extremely harsh environments, including those containing chlorides, acids and other corrosives. This makes it particularly suitable for applications in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemicals, oil and gas, and marine.

 

This is a standard specification for wrought austenitic stainless steel pipe fittings developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The standard covers various types of pipe fittings, such as elbows, tees, caps, etc., and specifies the dimensions, tolerances, material requirements, manufacturing processes, inspection methods, and marking, packaging, etc. of these pipe fittings to ensure that the quality and performance of the pipe fittings meet the relevant requirements.

 

UNS is a numbering system for identifying metals and alloys, and ASTM A403 UNS S31254 pipe fittings are a specific number for super austenitic stainless steel. This stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and performs especially well in harsh corrosive environments.

Material Analysis of ASTM A403 UNS S31254

 

CHEMICAL LIMITS C Mn P S Si Ni Cr Mo N Cu

Chromium (Cr): 19.5 – 20.5%
Chromium is one of the most important alloying elements in stainless steel. It can form a dense oxide film on the surface of steel, which plays a protective role and prevents steel from being corroded. In S31254, the higher chromium content makes it have good corrosion resistance, especially in oxidizing media.

 

Nickel (Ni): 17.5 – 18.5%
Nickel can improve the toughness, strength and corrosion resistance of steel, especially in acidic environment and high temperature environment, the presence of nickel can enhance the corrosion resistance of steel. At the same time, nickel can also improve the processing and welding properties of steel.

 

Molybdenum (Mo): 6.0 – 6.5%
Molybdenum is an effective anti-corrosion element that can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of steel in reducing media. For example, in a solution containing chloride ions, molybdenum can prevent pitting and crevice corrosion of steel.

 

MATERIAL T.S (MPA) Y.S (MPA) EL % R/A %

Tensile strength: ≥ 650 MPa
Tensile strength refers to the maximum stress value that a material can withstand in a tensile test. The high tensile strength of ASTM A403 UNS S31254 pipe fittings enables them to withstand large tensile loads and is suitable for some occasions with high strength requirements, such as high-pressure pipeline systems, chemical equipment, etc.

 

Yield strength: ≥ 300 MPa
Yield strength is the stress value when the material begins to undergo obvious plastic deformation. A higher yield strength indicates that S31254 can maintain good elastic deformation capacity when subjected to a certain load, is not prone to excessive deformation, and ensures the stability and safety of the pipe fittings during use.
