ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S31266is a super-austenitic stainless steel with 23.0-25.0% chromium, 21.0-24.0% nickel, 5.2-6.2% molybdenum, 0.35-0.60% nitrogen, and additions of tungsten and copper. It is engineered for applications requiring unparalleled corrosion resistance in severe corrosive environments, exceptional strength, and superior weldability, making it ideal for industries such as marine, oil and gas, and chemical processing. The high molybdenum, nitrogen, and tungsten content provide outstanding pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, while the ultra-low carbon content (≤ 0.020%) ensures excellent weldability compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s31254.
The ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S31266 stainless steel sheet offers superior corrosion resistance and strength compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s31254 and significantly outperforms sa 240/a 240 uns s31050 in aggressive environments due to its higher alloy content. Its exceptional properties make it the top choice for critical applications in extreme conditions, such as deep-sea equipment and chemical reactors.
Key benefits of ASME SA240/ASTM A240 UNS S31266 stainless steel sheet include:
Case Study: An oil and gas company in India used sa 240/a 240 uns s31266 sheets for deep-sea piping, achieving a 50% longer service life compared to sa 240/a 240 uns s31254 due to its superior corrosion resistance and strength.
