Sandvik 2RK65 (Tube and Pipe)

Generic Family: Steel - Wrought - Stainless - Austenitic • Supplied by: Sandvik Materials Technology

Sandvik 2RK65 is a high-alloy austenitic stainless steel intended for use under severe corrosive conditions within the process industry. The grade is characterized by:

Very good resistance to attacks in acidic environments, e.g. sulphuric, phosphoric and acetic acid

Very good resistance to pitting in neutral chloride-bearing solutions

Much better resistance to crevice corrosion than steels of the ASTM 304 and ASTM 316 types

Very good resistance to stress corrosion cracking

Good weldability

Applications
Typical applications for Sandvik 2RK65 are found in oil refineries and within the chemical and petrochemical industry. Sandvik 2RK65 is also used within the pulp and paper industry, the mineral and metallurgical industry, the food industry, in seawater cooling and in many other fields.

The grade is an excellent alternative to standard austenitic stainless steels in heat exchangers using high-temperature water with chloride contamination.
