Abstract
The first generation of superaustenitic 6Mo steels like 254 SMO® has been further developed into a new steel–654 SMO®–containing very high amounts of those alloying elements most beneficial for the resistance to localized corrosion. 654 SMO is compared with other stainless steels and nickel‐base alloys in tests performed in various kinds of seawater. The new steel is much superior to the 6Mo steel under all conditions investigated and compares favourably with Alloy C–276 in most tests. The most corrosive condition among those investigated represents a seawater system where aerobic and anaerobic areas exist simultaneously.

## Abstract Hyperduplex UNS S32707 is a newly developed austenitic–ferritic stainless steel. The steel contains about 27%Cr, 7%Ni, 4.5%Mo, and 0.4%N, which results in a pitting resistance equivalent factor (PRE) equal to 49. In this study, the pitting corrosion resistance of this new grade of stain
