Austenitic SS Alloy 20 Sheets and Plates
Alloy 20 Sheet and Alloy 20 Plate are popularly known as Carpenter 20, was developed as an austenitic alloy with nickel-iron-chromium to make it resistant to acid attack, especially sulfuric acid. The nickel content in alloy 20 makes it resistant to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking.

Properties
Incoloy Alloy 20 Sheet and Plate is an austenitic superalloy with nickel, iron, and chromium with additions of Copper and Molybdenum which make it resistant to hostile environments, pitting, and crevice corrosion. Alloy 20 sheet and plate can also be stabilized with Columbium to lessen carbide precipitation during welding.

According to the alloy 20 data sheet, the composition of copper and molybdenum in alloy 20 sheet and plate make it resistant to reducing environments also Molybdenum makes it resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion. The chromium content makes it resistant in oxidized environments just like nitric acid. Carpenter 20 steel is best resistant with superior mechanical properties and relatively easy fabrication.
