UNS N08926/X1NiCrMoCuN25-20-7/EN 1.4529/Incoloy 25-6Mo/Alloy 926 Stainless Steel

UNS N08926 is a high corrosion-resistant stainless steel with high contents of chromium and molybdenum and provides excellent corrosion resistance under severe environments such as high-temperature seawater and flue gas desulfurization plants.

Alloy 926 Mo (INCOLOY alloy 25-6MO, UNS N08926 / W. Nr. 1.4529) is a super-austenitic 6% molybdenum stainless steel that provides excellent resistance to a variety of highly corrosive environments. This alloy performs well in high chloride process streams were pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking may occur. It has excellent general corrosion resistance in sulfuric, phosphoric, and organic acids, especially when they contain chloride impurities.

The high chromium and nickel content of Alloy 926 Mo provides general corrosion resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments. The combination of molybdenum and nitrogen resists pitting and crevice corrosion, while copper enhances resistance to sulfuric acid, and nitrogen increases tensile and yield strengths. 926 Mo can be utilized as a replacement for conventional austenitic stainless steels (316L, 317L) that fail due to pitting, crevice corrosion, or chloride stress corrosion cracking. The strength of 926 Mo is approximately 50% higher than 316L. 25-6MO Mo can be a cost-effective substitute for nickel alloys.
