Stainless steel cast type

The specimen design used in the study by Rostoker et al. was such that it simulated both galvanic coupling and crevice conditions. Specimens were immersed in a 1% saline solution at 37 C, and examined by optical microscopy after exposures of a few to 100 days. No corrosion was observed on Ti-6A1-4V when the alloy was either uncoupled, coupled with itself (simple crevice). Or coupled with type 316L stainless steel, cast Co-Cr-Mo...

Cemented carbides are classified into groups witb a colour coding and a designatory letter according to tbe type of material to be machined, Le. steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium, super alloys and hardened steel. 

Aqueous hydrogen fluoride of greater than 60% maybe handled in steel up to 38°C, provided velocities are kept low (<0.3 m/s) and iron pickup in the process stream is acceptable. Otherwise, mbber or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) linings are used. For all appHcations, PTFE or PTEE-lined materials are suitable up to the maximum use temperature of 200°C. PTEE is also the material of choice for gasketing. AHoy 20 or Monel is typically used for valve and pump appHcations. Materials unacceptable for use in HE include cast iron, type 400 stainless steel, hardened steels, titanium, glass, and siHcate ceramics. 

High purity 50% ferrosihcon containing <0.1% Al and C is used for production of stainless steel and corded wire for tires, where residual aluminum can cause harm fill alumina-type inclusions. These are also useflil in continuous cast heats, where control of aluminum is necessary. High purity grades of 50 and 75% ferrosihcon containing low levels of aluminum, calcium, and titanium are used for sihcon additions to grain-oriented electrical steels, where low residual aluminum content contributes to the attainment of desired electrical properties, eg, significant reduction of eddy currents. 

Acid Coolers. Cast Hon trombone coolers, once the industry standard (101), are considered obsolete. In 1970, anodically passivated stainless steel sheU and tube acid coolers became commercially available. Because these proved to have significant maintenance savings and other advantages, this type of cooler became widely used. Anodic passivation uses an impressed voltage from an external electrical power source to reduce metal corrosion. 

Stainless Steel There are more than 70 standard types of stainless steel and many special alloys. These steels are produced in the wrought form (AISI types) and as cast alloys [Alloy Casting Institute (ACI) types]. Gener y, all are iron-based, with 12 to 30 percent chromium, 0 to 22 percent nickel, and minor amounts of carbon, niobium (columbium), copper, molybdenum, selenium, tantalum, and titanium. These alloys are veiy popular in the process industries. They are heat- and corrosion-resistant, noncontaminating, and easily fabricated into complex shapes.

Changing the pump metallurgy to a more corrosion- and cavitation-resistant material, such as stainless steel, is a potential solution to this type of problem. Note, however, that all other cast iron pump components that have sustained graphitic corrosion should be replaced to avoid the possibility of galvanic corrosion (see Chap. 16) between retained graphitically corroded cast iron components and new components. 

Materials of construction for this type of unit are usually modular cast iron rotors on steel shafts and cast iron casings or bodies. For special requirements in corrosive situations that cannot be remedied by changing the seal liquid, pumps can be furnished in Type 316 stainless steel or other alloys (expensive). 

In addition to nickel alloys, nickel also forms an important alloying element in stainless steels and in cast irons, in both of which it confers additional corrosion resistance and improved mechanical and engineering properties, and in Fe-Ni alloys for obtaining controlled physical and magnetic properties (see Chapter 3). With non-ferrous metals nickel also forms important types of alloys, especially with copper, i.e. cupro-nickels and nickel silvers these are dealt with in Section 4.2.

The thickness of the enamel layer varies with the type of use and metai. However, typical thicknesses are from 75 to 150 pm t.3 to 6 mils) for sheet steel, 175 to 359 pin (7 to 14 mils) for hot-rolled steel. 100 to 125 pm 4 to 5 mils) Tor each coat of wet process cast iron (760 lo 7RR C fire). 15 lo 25 pm (0.5 to I mil) for dry process cast-iron base coats and 750 pm (average) to nearly 2250 pm (30 mils to 90 mils) for ihe dusted cover coats (898 to 955 C tires), and 25 to 50 im (I to 2 mils) for aluminum alloys. Stainless steel and copper may have enamel coalings from 40 pm to 175 pm 11.5 to 7 mils) ihick.
