View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

ACI Type CG-8M is an iron-chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy with excellent resistance to corrosion by reducing media; however, it is not suitable for use in nitric acid or other strongly oxidizing environments. Its normal microstructure after heat treatment consists of an austenitic matrix in which 15 to 35% ferrite is distributed in the form of discontinuous pools. This ferrite gives the alloy considerable resistance to stress-corrosion cracking and high strength at room and elevated temperatures. Typical uses are in the nuclear, textile and petrochemical industries.
