Alloy 20 is frequently classified as a &#8220;super-austenitic&#8221; stainless steel or a nickel alloy because of its high nickel content (approx. 35%). This high nickel concentration, combined with copper and molybdenum, provides exceptional resistance to sulfuric acid at various temperatures and concentrations.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">\ubc18\uba74 904L\uc740 \ub2c8\ucf08 \ud568\ub7c9\uc774 \uc57d 25%\uc778 \uace0\ud569\uae08 \uc624\uc2a4\ud14c\ub098\uc774\ud2b8 \uc2a4\ud14c\uc778\ub9ac\uc2a4\uac15\uc785\ub2c8\ub2e4. \ub610\ud55c \uad6c\ub9ac\ub97c \ud568\uc720\ud558\uc5ec \uac15\ud55c \ud658\uc6d0\uc0b0\uc5d0 \ub300\ud55c \ub0b4\uc131\uc744 \uac15\ud654\ud558\uc9c0\ub9cc, \uc8fc\ub85c \ubb3d\uc740 \ud669\uc0b0 \ubc0f \uc778\uc0b0 \ud658\uacbd\uc5d0\uc11c \ud53c\ud305 \ubc0f \ud2c8\uc0c8 \ubd80\uc2dd\uc5d0 \uc800\ud56d\ud558\uae30 \uc704\ud574 \uac1c\ubc1c\ub418\uc5c8\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"7\">\uae30\uc220 \uc0ac\uc591 \ud45c<\/h3>\n<table data-path-to-node=\"8\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td>\uc18d\uc131<\/td>\n<td>\ud569\uae08 20(UNS N08020)<\/td>\n<td>904L(UNS N08904)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\ub2c8\ucf08(Ni)<\/td>\n<td>32.5% - 35.0%<\/td>\n<td>23.0% - 28.0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\ud06c\ub86c(Cr)<\/td>\n<td>19.01T3PT - 21.01T3PT<\/td>\n<td>19.0% - 23.0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\ubab0\ub9ac\ube0c\ub374(Mo)<\/td>\n<td>2.0% - 3.0%<\/td>\n<td>4.01T3PT - 5.01T3PT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\uad6c\ub9ac(Cu)<\/td>\n<td>3.0% - 4.0%<\/td>\n<td>1.0% - 2.0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>PREN \uac12<\/td>\n<td>~24 &#8211; 26<\/td>\n<td>~34 &#8211; 36<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\uc218\uc728 \uac15\ub3c4<\/td>\n<td>35,000psi(241MPa)<\/td>\n<td>31,000psi(215MPa)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"9\">\ud569\uae08 20 \ub300 904L: \uc62c\ubc14\ub978 \uc18c\uc7ac\ub97c \uc120\ud0dd\ud558\ub294 \ubc29\ubc95<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">Alloy 20\uacfc 904L \uc911 \uc5b4\ub5a4 \uac83\uc744 \uc120\ud0dd\ud560\uc9c0 \uacb0\uc815\ud560 \ub54c \uac00\uc7a5 \uc911\uc694\ud55c \uc694\uc18c\ub294 \ubd80\uc2dd\uc131 \ub9e4\uccb4\uc758 \ud2b9\uc815 \ud2b9\uc131\uc785\ub2c8\ub2e4.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"11\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\">\uc5fc\ud654\ubb3c \ub300 \uc0b0 \ub18d\ub3c4: \ud53c\ud305\uc774 \uc8fc\uc694 \uad00\uc2ec\uc0ac\uc778 \ub192\uc740 \uc5fc\ud654\ubb3c \ub18d\ub3c4\ub97c \ud3ec\ud568\ud558\ub294 \uc751\uc6a9 \ubd84\uc57c\uc5d0\uc11c\ub294 \ubab0\ub9ac\ube0c\ub374 \ud568\ub7c9\uc774 \ub192\uace0 \ud53c\ud305 \uc800\ud56d \ub4f1\uac00 \uc218(PREN)\uac00 \ub192\uc740 904L\uc774 \ub354 \uc6b0\uc218\ud55c \uc120\ud0dd\uc778 \uacbd\uc6b0\uac00 \ub9ce\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\">Sulfuric Acid Purity: Alloy 20 is the industry standard for &#8220;Sulfuric Acid Service.&#8221; It excels in 20% to 40% sulfuric acid concentrations where other steels fail.
