Product Overview

What are Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20Cb-3) Screws?

Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20Cb-3) screws are high-performance austenitic stainless steel fasteners engineered for exceptional resistance to sulfuric acid, chloride stress corrosion cracking, and pitting. Manufactured from UNS N08020 bar stock per ASTM B473, these screws combine nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and copper for superior corrosion resistance in harsh chemical environments.

Alloy 20 screws are widely specified in chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and food industries where standard stainless steels like 304 or 316L fail. Their unique composition prevents intergranular corrosion and ensures long-term reliability in acid, chloride, and caustic service.

Material Chemistry

Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20Cb-3) Chemical Composition

Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20Cb-3) Screws (UNS N08020) are produced from a niobium-stabilized alloy containing nickel (32–38%), chromium (19–21%), molybdenum (2–3%), and copper (3–4%) per ASTM. Niobium stabilization at 8× minimum carbon content prevents intergranular corrosion in weld zones; the Mo + Cu combination delivers sulfuric acid immunity at all concentrations.

Why Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20Cb-3) Alloy Composition Matters for Screws

Cu (3–4%) — Sulfuric Acid Resistance
Copper enhances Alloy 20’s resistance to sulfuric acid, making these screws ideal for acid process equipment and piping connections.
Nb Stabilized — Intergranular Corrosion Protection
Niobium addition prevents sensitization and intergranular attack, ensuring Alloy 20 screws maintain integrity after welding or exposure to high temperatures.
Mo (2–3%) — Pitting & Crevice Resistance
Molybdenum increases resistance to localized corrosion, especially in chloride-bearing environments, outperforming 316L screws in aggressive chemical service.

Contact our technical team directly for project-specific guidance on Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20Cb-3) screws selection and pricing.
Alloy 20 screws are available to DIN 912 (socket head cap), DIN 7991 (countersunk), ISO 4762, and ASME B18.3 (inch socket cap, button, and flat head). Set screws per ISO 4026 and hexalobular socket screws per ISO 14581 are also available. Custom thread forms (UNC, UNF, BSW) can be supplied on request.
Use a molybdenum-based or nickel-based anti-seize compound (such as Molykote P-37 or Jet-Lube SS-30) for Alloy 20 screws, especially in acid or chloride service. Avoid copper-based anti-seize in sulfuric acid environments to prevent galvanic corrosion. Lubricated torque values should be reduced by 15-20% compared to dry assembly.
Yes – Alloy 20 (Carpenter 20Cb-3) is specifically designed for resistance to sulfuric acid, chlorides, and other aggressive chemicals. It outperforms 316L and Hastelloy B2 in many acid and chloride applications, making it ideal for chemical processing, water treatment, and pharmaceutical equipment.
