Introduction:

This high-alloy austenitic is very resistant to attack from diluted sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid and acetic acid. It resists pitting in neutral chloride solutions (PREN about 38). Its resistance to stress corrosion cracking in some hot chlorides is much superior to that of the lower nickel austenites. This steel has good formability and weldability. This alloy is not part of the present Euronorm standards, but is already included in ISO 683/13-1986 and ASTM, BS and SEW national specifications. There are some differences, particularly in respect of the range of nitrogen, if added. Design stresses up to 370°C are included in ASME II. N08320 Alloy 20 Mod. has a very similar composition, but is Ti-stabilized and is without a nitrogen addition.
Metallurgy:

It is fully austenitic and is less sensitive to precipitation of ferrite and sigma phase than are conventional austenitic grades with high molybdenum content.
