copper-nickel alloys

The attacking characteristics of steam that is used in a plant are mildly considered, specifically if the steam is supplied by a public utility or power unit in which the boiler water treatment is adequate to avoid condensate attack. Although the contaminants in the steam can cause corrosion issues. In a single plant, high pressure … Continue reading Nickel Alloys for applications in steam environments

Earlier it was assumed that copper-nickel alloys provided sufficient corrosion resistance in the fresh waters while use in the heat exchanger services. The materials like austenitic stainless steels and nickel-chromium-iron alloys were mentioned essential only while operation in the brackish water or sulfide polluted water, because these were very costly for use in ordinary fresh … Continue reading Performance of heat exchanger materials
