The 6% Mo superaustenitic alloys have been used extensively in seawater handling applications. The properties that allow these alloys to be used in seawater make them well suited for use in construction of equipment for the production of potable water by desalination of brackish or seawater. N08367 alloy has been specified and used in a variety of reverse osmosis and multistage flash distillation applications. Several brine concentrators have also been built using the UNS N08367 alloy. Data on the performance and use of N08367 alloy in desalination testing and service are presented.
