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.VLX 562 is a high-strength austenitic-ferritic alloy with superior resistance than most 300 series stainless steels to stress-corrosion cracking. It is used in fresh water, where chlorides are present, and in high pressure applications.
