Alloy 20(UNS N08020, Carpenter 20, austenitic alloy, UNS N08020 austenitic alloy material 

• Introduction
  • Alloy 20, also known as Carpenter 20,  is a nickel-iron-chromium austenitic alloy that was developed for maximum  resistance to acid attack, specifically sulfuric acid. This superalloy has  excellent resistance to general corrosion, pitting, and crevice corrosion in  chemicals containing chlorides and sulfuric, phosphoric, and nitric acids. It  also contains niobium for stabilization against sensitization and resultant  intergranular corrosion. Carpenter 20 combines excellent corrosion resistance  with elevated mechanical properties and relatively easy fabrication. Although  originally designed for use in sulfuric acid related industries, Alloy 20 is  now a popular choice for a wide variety of industries including the chemical,  food, pharmaceutical, and plastics industries. In addition, this superalloy  is used in heat exchangers, mixing tanks, metal cleaning and pickling  equipment, and piping.
  • There has long been a debate on  whether Carpenter 20 is a stainless steel or a nickel alloy because the  nickel content is right on the border of defining it as one way or the other.  So, depending on who you talk to this alloy may be referred to as alloy 20  Stainless Steel or as a nickel alloy. Either way it is still great for  corrosion resistance.
