AL-6XN / UNS N08367 Stainless Steel

AL-6XN (UNS N08367) is a 6% molybdenum (6 Moly), low carbon, nitrogen-bearing super-austenitic stainless alloy. The alloy was originally designed for seawater applications. AL-6XN has also been successfully used in a broad range of very corrosive environments including the rapidly developing biopharm markets.

 

The high strength and corrosion resistance of the AL-6XN alloy make it a better choice than the conventional duplex stainless steels and a cost effective alternative to more expensive nickel-base alloys where excellent formability, weldability, strength and corrosion resistance are essential.

The levels of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen in AL-6XN all serve to provide resistance to acidic oxidizing chloride solutions previously achieved only by the nickel base alloys, and high nickel (24%) and molybdenum (6.3%) contents make AL-6XN an excellent solution to chloride ion stress corrosion cracking. Because of its nitrogen content AL-6XN features greater tensile strength than common austenitic stainless, while retaining high ductility and impact strength. ASME allowable stresses are up to 75% higher than for 316L stainless, and more than twice those for the copper-nickel alloys.
