Description of material
AN3 is a Nickel-Iron-Chromium alloy enhanced by a Silicon addition that enables it to offer good oxidation and scale resistance.
Applications
Even if AN3 offers a suitable corrosion resistance at room temperature, it is useful to remember that this grade has been designed to warrant good performance at high temperatures. The structure and composition of AN3 offers an excellent resistance to carburizing and oxidizing environments even in the case of continuous variations of both oxidizing and carburizing in hot service atmospheres. AN3 is suitable for the fabrication of many products such as flanges, food processing equipment, bolting, chains, hooks, conveyor chains, parts working in corrosive environments such as chemical processing, oil production systems, heat exchangers and installations in industrial furnaces working in different atmospheres.
