NS3308

HuaNickel NS3308 alloy came out in 1982, which is an improvement and development of the aforementioned high-molybdenum Ni-Cr-Mo alloys. The newly developed NS3308 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 in the alloy. Because of these characteristics, the corrosion resistance of NS3308 alloy is better than that of the Ni-Cr-Mo(- W) alloys mentioned above 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 pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion.
