What is AL6XN? Properties and Uses

Regent Steel & Engineering Co. is a leading stockholder, supplier and exporter of AL6XN Plate. AL6XN Plate are cut to your specifications and supplied with complete set of mill test reports. Custom length and width can be made available. Exports is our specialty and we can source many hard to find grades and or non-standards sizes to meet the special requirements of our customers. All AL6XN Plate can be cut to size with the help of our extensive expertise in processing steel plate products.

AL6XN is a super austenitic stainless steel with outstanding resistance to chloride pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. AL6XN is a 6 moly alloy that was developed for and is used in highly aggressive environments. It has high nickel (24%), molybdenum (6.3%), nitrogen and chromium contents that give it excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking, chloride pitting, and exceptional general corrosion resistance. AL6XN is primarily used for its improved pitting and crevice corrosion resistance in chlorides. It is a formable and weldable stainless steel.

Chromium, molybdenum, nickel and nitrogen all contribute to overall resistance to corrosion by various media. Chromium is the principal agent for conferring corrosion resistance in neutral or oxidizing environments. Chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen increase resistance to pitting corrosion. Nickel imparts the austenitic structure. Nickel and molybdenum both provide increased resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking in reducing environments.

The high strength and corrosion resistance of the AL6XN 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. UNS N08367 also commonly referred to as AL-6XN alloy is a nickel-molybdenum alloy with excellent resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion. AUNS N08367 retains high ductility and impact strength. UNS N08367 has been used for seawater heat exchangers, chemical process tanks and pipelines, offshore oil and gas production equipment, seawater heat exchangers.

We are among the Manufacturers, Exporters and Supplier of high quality AL6XN Plate in India. We also manufactured these products as per national & international quality standards. This metal is commonly used instead of 300 series stainless steels in high temperature and low pH applications in food processing. AL-6XN will better resist this corrosion while still offering the beneficial properties of stainless steel.
