Features

VDM® Alloy 59 is characterized by:

  • Spherical particles
  • High purity
  • Low oxygen content
  • Excellent resistance against a multitude of corrosive media under oxidizing and reducing conditions
  • Very good weldability
Corrosion Resistance

The corrosion resistance depends on the processing and heat treatment of the material. The conventionally produced VDM Alloy 59 has no propensity for grain boundary dispersions in hot forming or welding. The alloy can therefore be used in many chemical processes with oxidizing and reducing media. Furthermore, VDM® Alloy 59 is more resilient against chloride ion attack due to its high nickel, chromium and molyb-denum concentrations.

Applications

VDM® Powder 59 is suitable for a wide spectrum of applications in chemistry, petro chemistry, energy and environmen-tal engineering. Typical applications are:

  • Plant components for organic chemistry processes with media containing chloride, especially where catalytic systems on chloride basis are used.
  • Plant parts in active substance preparation and the pharmaceuticals industry
  • Components for seawater and concentrated brines
  • Equipment and components for geothermal energy and acid gas applications and for flue gas desulfurization (FGD) in fossil fuel power plants and waste incineration plants
