N08926/25-6MO/1.4529

Introduction

INCOLOY alloys belong to the category of super-austenitic stainless steel alloys. Nickel, chromium and iron are the principal constituents of this alloy. By adding different additives this alloy can be made to resist different chemical reagents. Good strength and resistance to corrosion are characteristics of these alloys.

Additives such as molybdenum and nitrogen are added to the alloy in order to increase its resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and thermal stability. The nickel and chromium content extend the corrosion resistance of this alloy over a wide range of environments like non-oxidizing acids, aqueous, caustic chlorides, halides and pulp-mill bleaches. This alloy is available in the form of bars, billets, sheets, round, plate, strips and wire.
