Alloy 25-6MO (UNS NO8926) is a super austenitic
stainless steel offering excellent corrosion resistance in a
wide variety of aggressive, aqueous environments. It
contains about 6% molybdenum, which along with
higher levels of chromium and nickel, readily enables
it to replace the conventional austenitic steels such as
Type 316 and Type 317. It also represents a cost-effective
alternative to the higher nickel alloys in some marine,
petroleum, and chemical processing environments.

The alloy offers excellent resistance to pitting and crevice
corrosion. Performance in these areas is often measured
using Critical Pitting Temperatures (CPT), Critical
Crevice Temperatures (CCT), and Pitting Resistance
Equivalent Numbers (PREN). Data* is available to show
superior values for alloy 25-6MO compared to AISI 316,
AISI 317, alloy 904L, and alloy 2205.
ASTM Standard Test Methods G 48 is also referenced. It
covers the procedures for the determination of the
resistance of various alloys to pitting and crevice
corrosion.

Alloy 25-6MO is also identified as UNS N08926. Wire
products are covered by ASTM B649. A number of other
commercially available alloy designations are related to
alloy 25-6MO through the UNS N08926 designation or
through published chemistry ranges. These alternate
designations or trademarks include:
_ INCO alloy 25-6MO
(trademark of Special Metals Corporation)
_ GD31MO (trademark of Greening Donald)
_ SUPA 75 (trademark of Bridon)
_ Cronifer 1925hMo (trademark of Krupp VDM)
_ AL6XN (trademark of Allegheny Ludlum Corporation)
_ Phy 4529
(trademark of Metalimphy Alloys Corporation)
Through the connecting UNS NO8926 alloy designation,
25-6MO, SUPA 75, and GD31MO describe the same alloy
and therefore have equivalent chemistries.
