Choosing Specialty Metals for Corrosion-Sensitive Equipment

摘要

Specialty metals should be considered for processes that push beyond the corrosion limits of steel. New composites and surface alloy technologies expand the options for defending against corrosion. Chemical processing facilities are engaged in a never-ending battle against corrosion to ensure that processes operate safely and reliably. Corrosion can affect many types of materials, from metals to ceramics, and even polymers and plastics. Many processes employ a variety of materials to protect against corrosion and its ensuing problems.
