VDM® Alloy 59 (2.4605/N06059)

VDM^® Alloy 59 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy developed by VDM Metals, which has particularly low concentrations of carbon and silica and is characterized by excellent corrosion resistance as well as high strength.

Characteristics of VDM® Alloy 59

VDM® Alloy 59 (2.4605/N06059) is characterized by:

excellent resistance against a multitude of corrosive media under oxidizing and reducing conditions,
outstanding resistance against chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion, as well as resistance against stress corrosion cracking,
excellent resistance in mineral acids such as nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric and salt acids, but especially against sulfur/salt acid mixtures

Applications of VDM® Alloy 59

VDM® Alloy 59 is suitable for a wide spectrum of applications in chemistry, petro chemistry, energy and environmental engineering. Typical applications are:

Plant components for organic chemistry processes with media containing chloride, especially where catalytic systems on chloride basis are used.
