Al-6XN Stainless Steel, UNS N08367 is used as the materials of construction in components for chemical processing, offshore oil/gas platforms, pulp/paper production, desalination plants, marine application, flue gas scrubbers and food processing.
AL-6XN® is low carbon, nitrogen bearing super austenitic stainless steel. The alloy was designed to be a seawater resistant material and has been found to be resistant to a broad range of corrosive environments. Due to the alloys corrosion resistance and high strength, AL-6XN® is a better choice than conventional duplex stainless alloy and more cost effective nickel-base alloys.
