Low Carbon Stainless Steel AL-6XN

AL-6XN, a registered trademark of Allegheny Ludlum, is a low carbon stainless steel that contains chromium, nickel, molybdenum and nitrogen. These alloying elements combine to give AL-6XN excellent general corrosion resistance with exceptional chloride corrosion resistance. The properties of AL-6XN, much like stainless steel, are degraded by real world fabricating and handling operations. Electropolishing can be used to reverse these adverse effects and to improve the corrosion resistance of AL-6XN. Further details can be found in our discussion of electropolishing (hyperlink to EP page).

The corrosion resistance of AL-6XN may also be improved by passivating the surface.

Harrison Electropolishing can mechanically polish AL-6XN and certify a finish as low as 4 Ra micro-inch.

Harrison Electropolishing can oxygen clean and chemical clean a wide range of AL-6XN components.
