Alloy Grade UNS: N06002 – Corrosion and Heat Resistant

  • Overview

    N06002, also known as MTEK ALLOY X, is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy renowned for its exceptional performance in both high-temperature and corrosive environments. This versatile alloy exhibits outstanding resistance to stress corrosion cracking, a common failure mechanism in demanding applications. Furthermore, N06002 excels in high-temperature settings, demonstrating remarkable resistance to thermal shock and cyclic temperature variations. This makes it suitable for applications where components are subjected to rapid heating and cooling or fluctuating temperatures. Its combination of corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and resistance to thermal shock makes N06002 a valuable choice for demanding industries where materials must withstand extreme conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Severe corrosion and heat resistant steel is engineered to withstand extreme environments, including high temperatures, chemical exposure, and acidic conditions.

Applications include chemical reactors, flue gas scrubbers, incinerators, and heat treatment fixtures exposed to corrosive and thermal stress.

Alloys such as Inconel, Hastelloy, Alloy 20, and super austenitic or duplex stainless steels are ideal for high-heat and corrosion-prone conditions.

Non-Ferrous

Non-ferrous alloys are, literally, materials that are not iron-based. While others may provide non-ferrous materials of other materials, the MetalTek family of non-ferrous alloys are copper-based. In general, these materials deliver high strength, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. They are often found in marine applications and also bushing, bearing, and gear environments.
Stainless Steel Parts

Stainless Steel

Stainless steels owe their ability to resist corrosion primarily to the presence of a passive film on their surface. Chromium is chiefly responsible for formation of the passive film. Iron ceases to rust at approximately 12% chromium content and resistance to oxidizing corrosives increases rapidly with chromium content up to approximately 20%.
Petrochemical Fittings

Specialty Alloys

Specialty Alloys comprise a broad group of materials that deliver properties for more demanding applications, use more exotic or expensive materials, or require special processes to manufacture. Where standard materials may not offer desired performance, specialty alloys (including those that are modified further) may be a sensible selection.
