When a metal comes in contact of an oxidizing gas at high temperature, it is corroded by direct reaction with gas that even doesn’t need an electrolyte. This kind of corrosion is known as tarnishing, high temperature oxidation and scaling. The corrosion rate increases considerably with  increase in temperature in case of general steels and … Continue reading High temperature corrosion- Which materials can withstand

Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoric acid are widely used in the industrial applications. Hydrofluoric acid is used in pickling of stainless steels, acid processing wells, glass etching, development of aluminium fluoride, synthetic cryolite for aluminium development, production of fluorinated organics like aerosol propellants, special purpose solvents, plastics, refrigerants and development of fluorides and fluoborates. Aqueous … Continue reading Which alloy is best for use in hydrofluoric acid applications?
