Labdhi Metals is a trusted manufacturer, stockist, and exporter of high-quality SMO 254 Strip, Sheet & Plate, catering to the needs of industries requiring superior corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. SMO 254, also known by its material designation UNS S31254, is a super austenitic stainless steel developed for use in extreme chloride-rich environments. With exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, it is widely used in applications such as seawater handling systems, chemical processing equipment, desalination plants, and heat exchangers.
The superior corrosion resistance of SMO 254 comes from its high alloy composition, especially the elevated levels of molybdenum (6%), nickel, and nitrogen. These alloying elements enhance its resistance to aggressive media, making it far more durable than standard austenitic grades like 316L. Labdhi Metals fabricates SMO 254 Strip, Sheet & Plate using state-of-the-art processing methods, including hot rolling and cold rolling, followed by solution annealing and pickling to achieve excellent surface finishes and dimensional accuracy.
As a leading stockist, Labdhi Metals maintains a robust inventory of SMO 254 in strip, sheet, and plate form, ranging in thickness from 0.5 mm to 50 mm and widths up to 2500 mm. The materials are supplied in standard finishes such as 2B, No.1, No.4, BA, and mirror polish depending on application requirements. Custom cutting, shearing, and surface finishing services are also provided to meet specific project needs with quick turnaround.
Labdhi Metals is an experienced exporter with a strong global footprint, delivering SMO 254 flat products to clients in Europe, the Middle East, North America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. All products are manufactured in accordance with international standards including ASTM A240, ASME SA240, and EN 10088-2. Strict quality control procedures ensure compliance with mechanical and chemical properties, and every order is shipped with complete documentation including material test certificates (MTCs).
