pitting attack

Nickel-Chromium-Molybdneum alloys were selected as suitable materials for nuclear waste containers as they provide outstanding resistance to localized corrosion in conditions that may occur at the permanent repository site. It was crucial to determine if prolong exposure to low temperatures would be harmful to the resistance property of Hastelloy C22 , C4 and C276 alloys … Continue reading Which alloy is the best fit for nuclear waste containers

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
