A high purity iron—26% chromium—1% molybdenum alloy which has recently been made available in commercial quantities has outstanding resistance to attack in a wide variety of chloride-ion-containing environments and organic acids. The material is resistant to stress-corrosion cracking in boiling magnesium chloride, and its low carbon and nitrogen content makes it highly resistant to intergranular attack.
