Abstract
The properties of a new, very highly alloyed stainless steel, Avesta 654 SMO, are compared with those of other stainless steels and nickel‐base alloys. The new steel has a very high strength but still possesses a high elongation. The corrosion properties have been investigated in accelerated laboratory tests and in environments representing the expected main application areas, sea water, pulp bleaching and flue gas cleaning. The tests clearly show that the new steel has appreciably better corrosion resistance than the superduplex and superaustenitic 6 Mo steels and that the resistance in many cases matches that of the best nickel‐base alloys.
