Alloy 20 Round Bar (UNS N08020)
Alloy 20 Round Bar is a nickel–iron–chromium alloy with added molybdenum and copper, specifically developed for excellent resistance to sulfuric acid and aggressive chemical environments. It offers a unique combination of outstanding corrosion resistance, good mechanical strength, and excellent fabricability, making it a preferred material in chemical processing industries.
Alloy 20 Round Bar (also known as Carpenter 20 / Incoloy Alloy 20 Round Bar) is highly resistant to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking. It performs reliably in both oxidizing and reducing conditions and maintains stable properties across a wide temperature range.
Key Features
- Excellent resistance to sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid
- High resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
- Good resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking
- Excellent weldability without stabilization heat treatment
- Good strength and toughness at elevated temperatures
