VDM® Alloy 926 (1.4529/N08926)
VDM® Alloy 926 is an austenitic, special stainless steel. Due to its high molybdenum concentration, this alloy has a generally much improved corrosion resistance and resistance against pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion. This also has a positive effect on the resistance against stress corrosion that is induced by pitting corrosion.
Characteristics of VDM® Alloy 926
VDM® Alloy 926 is characterized by:
- very good resistance against chloride-induced stress corrosion,
- increased resistance against stress corrosion in comparison to other austenitic stainless steels,
- excellent general corrosion resistance when in contact with oxidizing and reducing media,
Applications of VDM® Alloy 926
Typical applications for VDM® Alloy 926 are:
- Vaporizers, heat exchangers, tank housings, etc. in phosphorus acid production
- Facilities and pipework in the use of diluted sulfuric and phosphorus acid, even if these are contaminated with chlorides
- Distributor systems and coolers for sulfuric acid plants
- Concentration and crystallization plants in salt extraction by vaporization
- Fire extinguishing systems, sea water filtration, hydraulics and injection systems of off-shore engineering
- Pump frames of oil extraction pumps
- Pump lines and couplings, wire lines in oil and gas extraction
- Condenser pipes and pipework systems in power plants with heavily contaminated cooling water
- Parts for flue gas desulfurization that are exposed to modest corrosion strain
- Facilities and parts for the bleaching phase of the pulp industry
- Flexible pipes in the off-shore industry
- Tanks for storing and transport of aggressive chemical substances
