Chemical Composition (% Weight)
Heat & Product Analysis🛡️ Service Compatibility
Exceptional resistance to hydrofluoric, hydrochloric, and hot sulfuric acids.
Maintains mechanical strength and oxidation resistance up to 1000°C (Inconel 600/625, Alloy 800H).
Immune to SSC, HIC, and pitting in extreme sour oilfield environments.
Zero pitting or crevice corrosion under stagnant or high-velocity seawater.
🔥 Welding & Heat Treatment
None required. Strict cleanliness required (remove all sulfur, oil, grease, paint to avoid hot cracking). Interpass temp < 150°C.
PWHT not required. Thermal stress relief at 870°C recommended only for Monel 400 in hydrofluoric acid service.
Exempt down to sub-zero temperatures per ASME B31.3.
