AL6XN

AL6XN, 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 AL6XN excellent general corrosion resistance with exceptional chloride corrosion resistance. The properties of AL6XN, 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 AL6XN. Further details can be found in our discussion of electropolishing (hyperlink to EP page).

The corrosion resistance of AL6XN may also be improved by passivating the surface.

Harrison Electropolishing can mechanically polish AL6XN 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.
