AL6XN Mixer Tank

Upgrade to AL6XN for Maximum Marine Durability

Add this to your cart to upgrade your selected riser with an AL6XN Mixer Tank. Only applies to risers that are not watercooled. Not a stand alone product.

While 316L stainless steel performs well in many marine environments, AL6XN offers a significant leap in corrosion resistance and long-term reliability — especially in high-temperature, high-chloride conditions common in exhaust systems.

Why AL6XN Outperforms 316L

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: AL6XN’s high molybdenum content (6%) gives it exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride stress cracking, even in seawater and salt-laden air where 316L begins to break down.

• Longer Service Life: This alloy holds up against constant exposure to exhaust condensate and salt spray, dramatically reducing the risk of premature failure or pinhole leaks over time.

• Better Performance in Heat & Pressure: Ideal for mixer tanks and other exhaust components exposed to hot exhaust gases and fluctuating temperatures — maintaining structural integrity where 316L may fatigue faster.

• Lower Lifetime Cost: Though AL6XN carries a higher upfront cost, its extended service life and reduced maintenance needs make it the most cost-effective material over time.

• Peace of Mind: Choosing AL6XN means choosing maximum reliability for your exhaust system — and fewer costly repairs down the line.

• Highly recommended on generator exhaust.
