Alloy 20 plate from thickness 8mm to 200mm
Product brief introduction
Alloy 20( UNS N08020) is a low-carbon, niobium-stabilized austenitic nickel/iron/chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum and copper. It exhibits exceptional corrosion resistance in chemical environments containing phosphoric acid, nitric acid, chlorides and sulfuric acid. It also has good mechanical properties at both ambient and elevated temperatures.
The following sections will discuss in detail about nickel alloy 20.
