Selection of application materials in downhole processes in a sour well is lead by a special set of factors. Service temperatures can be high up to 800oC or 1470oF. The hot gas is aggressively corrosive and the marine conditions cause vigorous problems. High temperature strength, corrosion resistance, easy fabrication and readily welding products are the … Continue reading High strength nickel alloys for oilfield and sour gas well conditions

Inconel 625 wire is an alloy of nickel with high resistance to corrosion and oxidation. This alloy is non-magnetic and has high fatigue strength. Inconel 625 alloy has high strength and toughness and can withstand a broad working temperature range (from cryogenic to 2000°F). Inconel 625 has resistance to stress-corrosion cracking due to chloride ions. … Continue reading Inconel 625 Wire- Ideal for high temperature applications

Nickel base alloys are used in industries and processes for chlorinating organic compounds due to their resistance to chlorine. In vigorous corrosion conditions that occur during the production of chloromethanes, chloroform and other chlorine based materials, stainless steel pumps already failed after two cycles. Therefore these are replaced with high resistant Nickel base alloys such … Continue reading How to deal with high chlorine based industrial conditions

General Corrosion General corrosion is the most common form of corrosion that causes greatest mass loss of metal. It is attributed by uniform corrosion of the whole area subjected to the corrosive condition. Steel rust when it is exposed to weather is a common example. As the corrosion is linear with time, the service life … Continue reading Which alloys should be used in different types of corrosion

Monel bars are made of two types of Monel alloys such as Monel 400 and Monel K-500. Monel 400 has high strength over various temperatures and has high resistance to various corrosive environments from mildly oxidizing through neutral and in moderately reducing conditions. It has high performance in marine and other nonoxidizing chloride solutions. It … Continue reading Monel 400- Excellent anticorrosive material for process vessels
