A new super austenitic stainless steel has been developed for use in highly corrosive wet environments.
The new alloy, Alloy 35Mo, has the general chemical composition 27Cr-35Ni-6.5Mo-0.28N and PRE>52,
suggesting high resistance towards chloride induced localized corrosion. The Alloy 35Mo has excellent
corrosion resistance in chloride bearing environments, and has also shown surprising mechanical
properties with a combination of high yield strength, excellent ductility and low hardness. The main
applications for the new grade will initially be heat exchanger tubing, small dimension piping and hydraulic
& instrumentation tubing. Target industries are refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants and offshore
installations. This paper discusses Alloy35Mo, its properties, and a comparison with existing,
competing grades
