Hi all,
My company produces a product, parts of which are made from 254 SMO rather than 316, when extra high corrosion resistance is required.
We are experiencing periodic difficulties in getting our hands on 254SMO plate, and I want to investigate the potential to use another material. I've seen comment on 4565 comparing favourable to 254SMO, but I have no experience of it.
The chosen material must have similar physical props to SMO, and must also behave similarly in manufacturing; wleding, forming etc.
Any pointers would be gratefully received!
Regards,
FP
