Stainless salmon scales To mimic the appearance of fish scales , the ellipsoid structure is clad with 9,250 overlapping shingles made of 6 % molybdenum stainless steel ( UNS S31254 ). This high addition of molybdenum helps make this stainless steel one of the most corrosion resistant available , able to withstand immersion in seawater . The grade is often used for extreme applications like desalination and chemical processing . In addition to supreme resistance against pitting

and crevice corrosion , 6 % molybdenum stainless steel offers at least 50 % higher strength than standard austenitic grades . Despite being licked by salt-laden waves daily , these “ scales ” require minimal maintenance and will not loosen , warp , or rust over time . The choice of materials for Salmon Eye also reflects the environmental intentions behind the project . The highly alloyed stainless steel will not release any harmful substances into the water and will last centuries in the marine
environment . At the end of its long service life , stainless steel is also fully recyclable . As it stares forever unblinking into the sky , the Salmon Eye and its stainless steel scales call for a closer look into the future below the surface .
