Chemical composition

Physical properties

Features: 2.4606 has good comprehensive corrosion resistance performance, 2.4606 has outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. It has excellent resistance to oxidizing aqueous media including wet chlorine and mixtures containing nitric acid or oxidizing acids with chloride ions. It also offers optimum resistance to environments where reducing and oxidizing conditions are encountered in process streams.

So it can be used where “upset” conditions are likely to occur or in multi-purpose plants. 2.4606 has exceptional resistance to a wide variety of chemical process environments, including strong oxidizers such as ferric and cupric chlorides, chlorine, hot contaminated solutions (organic and inorganic), formic and acetic acids, acetic anhydride, and seawater and brine solutions. It resists the formation of grain boundary precipitates in the weld heat-affected zone, thus making it suitable for most chemical process applications in the as-welded condition.2.4606 alloy suit for many kinds of chemical process industry which contain the oxidizing medium and reductant. High molybdenum and chromium content make it can resist the chloride corrosion, and tungsten makethis corrosion resistancebetter.2.4606 is one of a few material that can resist thecorrosion of moist chlorine, hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide, this alloyhave prominent corrosion resistanceto high concentration chlorate( iron chloride and copper chloride).
