Description

03Х23Н6 steel is used: for the manufacture of equipment for chemical engineering; welded capacitive equipment used in the production of nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, adipic acid; welding electrodes; connections for equipment operating in radioactive environments and do not come in contact with aggressive environment.

Note

Austenite corrosion resistant steel-ferritic class.
03Х23Н6 steel has higher strength compared with steel grades 08KH18N10T and 03Х18Н11. 03Х23Н6 steel has a high resistance to stab corrosion in the weld joint and it can also replace steel grades 03Х19АГ3Н10, Х18Н9Т, 18CR10NITI, 08KH22N6T.
