Solve Corrosion Problems Now

AL-6XN® alloy solves many tough corrosion problems facilities face. The experts at Central States Industrial (CSI) take corrosion seriously and understand that waiting months for tubing, fittings, and equipment is never a feasible option. CSI carries an extensive stock of corrosion resistant super alloys, allowing for a quick turnaround.

The high strength and corrosion resistance of the AL-6XN alloy make it a better choice than other super austenitic stainless steels, such as 254 SMO® or 904L. It outperforms conventional duplex stainless steels—such as 2205 or 2507—and is a cost-effective alternative to more expensive nickel-based alloys in applications where excellent formability, weldability, strength, and corrosion resistance are essential.

AL-6XN alloy has both the strength and the corrosion resistance to maximize life cycles.

AL-6XN alloy is identified by the Unified Numbering System (UNS) designation of N08367. It is an austenitic stainless steel alloy with high nickel (24%), chromium (22%), molybdenum (6%), and nitrogen (0.18%) content and is commonly known as super austenitic stainless steel (alloys such as 254 SMO and 904L also fall under the super austenitic designation). AL-6XN alloy has a face-centered cubic crystal structure similar to other austenitic stainless steels such as 304L and 316L. The alloy is non-magnetic, and its magnetic permeability remains low even after severe cold forming.

Properties

AL-6XN alloy is commonly used because of its excellent mechanical, high-temperature, and corrosion properties.
