AL6XN stainless steel alloy flanges N08367 Stainless Steel Plate Flange
AL-6XN alloy is easy to weld using similar parameters as Type 316L stainless steel, including travel speed (IPM) and weld current. It is common to use a weld insert ring for additional alloying when orbital or manual welding in the field.
Seawater is where AL-6XN Stainless Steel Flange outperform so many alloys providing protection to stress corrosion cracking, pitting and crevice corrosion in a broad range of marine applications. The physical properties of the AL-6XN alloy are similar to those of other austenitic stainless steels Uses for AL6XNOriginally developed for seawater applications, the AL-6XN alloy is used successfully in food, pharmaceutical, and biopharmaceutical services. Stainless alloys with even higher levels of chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo) were developed to resist the high chloride ion concentrations of brackish water and seawater. One of the results of Allegheny Ludlum¡¯s earliest efforts to develop better austenitic stainless alloys, was the introduction of AL-6X alloy in the early 1970s. The alloy contained 20 wt % Cr, 24 wt % Ni and 6 wt % Mo. The relatively high nickel (Ni) content promotes a fully austenitic structure in the annealed condition.
