6% Moly
6% moly alloys are named for their 6% molybdenum content. Molybdenum is a silvery metal with the sixth highest melting point of any element. It is therefore often used in applications that involve intense heat. 6% moly alloys also contain high levels of chromium and nitrogen, which also make them highly resistant to corrosion.
Because of these characteristics, 6% moly alloys are used in high chloride environments and process streams, such as in sea and brackish water, pulp mill bleach systems, desalination systems and chemical processes.
6% moly alloys have excellent impact toughness and workability and are up to 50% stronger than the 300 series austenitic steels. In addition, 6% moly alloys are also more cost effective than titanium and nickel based alloys.
Benefits:
- Very high resistance to chloride corrosion
- Stronger than austenitic stainless steels
- High melting point
Uses:
- Pulp Mill Bleach Systems
- Desalination Equipment
- Seawater handling equipment
- Chemical processing equipment
