What are AL-6XN Sheets & Plates?

AL-6XN Sheets & Plates are super austenitic stainless steel products made from UNS N08367.

This alloy is designed to provide excellent resistance to chloride-induced pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, making it ideal for harsh environments where standard stainless steels fail.

AL-6XN is widely used in marine, chemical, and industrial applications.


Key Functions:

  • Provide superior corrosion resistance in chloride environments
  • Maintain strength in aggressive chemical conditions
  • Resist pitting and crevice corrosion
  • Ensure long-term durability and reliability

Chemical Composition of AL-6XN

AL-6XN has a carefully balanced composition for high corrosion resistance.

Typical Composition:

  • Nickel (Ni): 23.5% – 25.5%
  • Chromium (Cr): 20% – 22%
  • Molybdenum (Mo): 6% – 7%
  • Nitrogen (N): ~0.2%
  • Iron (Fe): Balance

High molybdenum and nitrogen content enhance resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
