VDM® Alloy 926 (1.4529/N08926)

VDM® Alloy 926 is an austenitic, special stainless steel. Due to its high molybdenum concentration, this alloy   has a generally much improved corrosion resistance and resistance against pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion. This also has a positive effect on the resistance against stress corrosion that is induced by pitting corrosion.

Characteristics of VDM® Alloy 926

VDM® Alloy 926 is characterized by:

  • very good resistance against chloride-induced stress corrosion,
  • increased resistance against stress corrosion in comparison to other austenitic stainless steels,
  • excellent general corrosion resistance when in contact with oxidizing and reducing media,
