2.4602

HuaNickel 2.4602 alloy was introduced in 1982, which is an improvement and development of several high-molybdenum Ni-Cr-Mo alloys mentioned above. The newly developed 2.4602 alloy system increases the chromium content by approximately 21% and reduces the amount of molybdenum by approximately 13%, and an appropriate amount of tungsten (approximately 3%) is added to balance the amount of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten alloy. Because of these characteristics, 2.4602 alloy has better corrosion resistance than the aforementioned Ni-Cr-Mo(- W) alloys in many media. In particular, it is more obvious in oxidizing media such as FeCl₃ and CuCl₂, wet chlorine, and redox acids. At the same time, the alloy still has excellent resistance to p

itting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion.
