Alloy 28

Material

Alloy 28, 28Cr, UNS N08028, W.Nr. 1.4563

Overview

Alloy 28 is a cold hardened nickel-based alloy intended for corrosion resistance in highly sour (H2S) environments with moderate chloride content, requiring high strength up to 350°F. Alloy 28 offers increased resistance to the effects of H2S relative to stainless steels allowing its use as downhole tubular components, packers, and other subsurface equipment in sour wells with high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions and Acid Gas Injection (AGI) wells. In addition, it has a high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in the presence of chlorides. However, all environmental factors, including H2S, CO2, temperature, pH, and chloride concentration, should be considered before final material selection.

Application

Alloy 28 is used in the chemical and petrochemical processing industry. Alloy 28 tubes are cold worked to high strength levels for downhole service in moderately corrosive deep sour gas wells.
