The invention relates to an austenitic nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy
having high resistance to general corrosion, crevice, pitting and stress
crack corrosion and also intercrystalline corrosion, consisting of (in %
by weight):
carbon: up to 0.01%
silicon: up to 0.05%
manganese: up to 0.50%
phosphorus: up to 0.020%
sulphur: up to 0.010%
chromium: 14.0 to 18.0%
molybdenum: 14.0 to 18.0%
cobalt: up to 2.0%
tungsten: up to 0.5%
calcium 0.001 to 0.010%
magnesium: 0.001 to 0.020%
aluminium: 0.05 to 0.30%
nitrogen: up to 0.02%
iron: up to 3.0%
copper: up to 0.5%
titanium: up to 0.01%
residue nickel and usual impurities due to melting, the sum of the contents
(carbon+silicon+titanium) being limited to 0.05% at the most, and the sum
of the elements (calcium+magnesium+aluminium) being adjusted within the
limits 0.055 to 0.33%.
