N08926 is a high-chromium, high-nickel, high-molybdenum super austenitic stainless steel with added nitrogen. Its chemical composition is similar to 904L, but the inclusion of nitrogen (N) significantly enhances its strength and further improves resistance to pitting corrosion. It is an ideal material for handling seawater, high-concentration chloride environments, and other demanding corrosive conditions, offering performance comparable to many more expensive nickel-based alloys. Core characteristics: Exceptional resistance to chloride-induced localised corrosion: Exhibits outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, outperforming 904L and ranking among the premier choices for addressing seawater and brine corrosion challenges. High strength and hardness: Nitrogen solution strengthening yields a yield strength approximately double that of standard austenitic stainless steels (e.g., 316L), permitting thinner-walled designs for weight reduction. Superior comprehensive corrosion resistance: Exhibits excellent resistance to sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, and diverse organic acids and inorganic salt solutions. Outstanding stress corrosion cracking resistance: Demonstrates stability in chloride-containing environments. Cost-effectiveness: In numerous demanding applications, its performance rivals that of more expensive nickel-based alloys (such as C-276) while offering a significant cost advantage.
