Incoloy 020

Incoloy 020

INCOLOY 020 is a nickel-iron-chromium-based solid-solution strengthened alloy, with copper and molybdenum added to enhance its corrosion resistance. This alloy exhibits excellent resistance to uniform corrosion and pitting in strongly corrosive chemical media such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and nitric acid, while also possessing good resistance to chloride ion stress corrosion cracking. It is widely used in fields including chemical engineering, petrochemicals, food processing, marine engineering, pharmaceuticals, and pollution control equipment.

Description
Technical Parameters

Products Features

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance

Excellent corrosion resistance.

It exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance in sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and mixed acid media, particularly suitable for hot sulfuric acid environments. The addition of copper significantly enhances tolerance to reducing acids.

High-Temperature Corrosion Resistance

Excellent resistance to chloride ion stress corrosion cracking.

The nickel-iron-chromium matrix, combined with a stable austenitic structure, provides superior resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride-containing environments, outperforming conventional stainless steels such as 304 and 316.

High Stability

Good machining and welding performance.

It can be welded using conventional welding processes (such as TIG, MIG, and manual arc welding) without requiring special post-weld heat treatment. Suitable for manufacturing chemical equipment such as tower vessels, storage tanks, heat exchangers, flanges, valves, and piping systems.
