Incoloy 028

Incoloy 028

INCOLOY 028 is a nickel-iron-chromium-based solid-solution strengthened alloy with added molybdenum and copper, specifically designed for extreme acidic environments containing hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and chlorides. This alloy exhibits excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion in high chloride ion concentrations and acidic media. It is widely used in fields such as oil and gas production, acidic medium processing, chemical equipment, and marine engineering.

Description
Technical Parameters

Products Features

High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance

Excellent resistance to hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion cracking.

In acidic oil and gas well environments containing H₂S, INCOLOY 028 exhibits outstanding resistance to sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSC), meeting the requirements of the NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 standard for metallic materials used in acidic environments.

High-Temperature Corrosion Resistance

Excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.

The synergistic effect of high chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen endows the alloy with superior pitting resistance equivalent (PREN > 40) in chloride-containing environments, making it suitable for harsh corrosive conditions such as seawater, brines, and acidic salt solutions.

High Stability

Good mechanical properties and workability

It has moderate strength and excellent ductility, allowing it to be cold and hot worked, formed, and welded using conventional processes. It is suitable for manufacturing complex components such as oil well pipes, heat exchangers, valves, and piping systems.

Good Processability

Corrosion resistance stability over a wide temperature range

It maintains stable corrosion resistance in acidic media from ambient temperature to high temperatures, and is particularly suitable for acidic gas and liquid environments ranging from low temperatures up to around 200°C.
