Labdhi Metals is a reputed manufacturer, stockist, and exporter of high-quality SMO 254 Round Bars, engineered for performance in highly corrosive environments. SMO 254, designated as UNS S31254, is a super austenitic stainless steel developed for use in seawater and other aggressive chloride-bearing media. These round bars offer excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride stress corrosion cracking, making them ideal for critical applications in industries like offshore oil & gas, chemical processing, pulp & paper, marine engineering, and desalination plants.
SMO 254 exhibits a high level of molybdenum and nitrogen, which provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard austenitic stainless steels such as 316L and even Duplex grades. Labdhi Metals manufactures SMO 254 round bars using precise hot or cold working techniques, ensuring consistent mechanical properties, excellent dimensional tolerances, and a high-quality surface finish. The material's high strength-to-weight ratio, combined with good weldability and formability, makes it a preferred choice for pressure vessel components and structural applications in corrosive settings.
As a reliable stockist, Labdhi Metals maintains a large inventory of SMO 254 round bars in a variety of sizes ranging from 6 mm to 200 mm in diameter, and in various finishes such as bright, black, peeled, and centerless ground. This ensures quick delivery for both domestic and export orders, reducing lead time for critical projects. The company also offers cut-to-length services and custom machining to meet specific client requirements.
Labdhi Metals is a trusted exporter of SMO 254 round bars, supplying to regions including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and North America. All bars are produced according to international standards such as ASTM A276, ASTM A479, and EN 10088-3. To ensure product quality, each batch is subjected to chemical analysis, mechanical testing, ultrasonic inspection, and PMI testing, and is shipped with complete test certificates and traceability documentation.
