Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel and High-Nickel Alloys

Comparative Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel and High-Nickel Alloys 

The corrosion tables on the following pages are arranged alphabetically according to corrodent. The chemicals listed are in the pure state or in a saturated solution unless otherwise indicated. Compatibility is shown to the maximum allowable temperature for which data are available. Symbols used to designate specific corrosion rates are as follows  

U indicates that the corrosion rate is 50 mpy and therefore not recommended for this service. 

Further information regarding the corrosion of specific materials by certain corrodents is provided by the following symbols. In the tables, the symbols follow the applicable material  

8 Corrodent must be acid free and the material passivated
