Stainless steel high-alloy steels

The substrate is most likely to be austenitic or ferritic stainless steel, high-alloy steels, nickel-base alloys (e.g., Inconels), or cast grades of Stellite (Co-Cr-W-C) materials.

Wensley et al. [65-68] conducted tests for several years with duplex stainless steels, highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels, and nickel-base alloys in a CIO2 washer using creviced coupons. These tests revealed that in near-neutral D-stage environments all the stainless steels suffered crevice... 

Zirconium oxide abrasive. High stock removal on mild, stainless, and high alloy steels. 

Highly alloyed steels, such as stainless steels, which contain 12-20% Cr and sometimes up to 10% Ni and 3% Mo (Section 3.3). 

His calculated cost ratings, relative to the rating for mild steel (low carbon), are shown in Table 7.6. Materials with a relatively high design stress, such as stainless and low alloy steels, can be used more efficiently than carbon steel. 

Researchers have tried to fabricate plates using many different metals— mainly, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, copper alloys, intermetallic alloys, and metal-based composites such as carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum alloys, carbon fiber reinforced copper alloys, etc. [26]. Although Ta, Hf, Nb, Zr, and Ti metals show good corrosion resistance and chemical stability [6], the cost of fhese metals is too high for them to be used as materials in metal plates. That is why relatively cheaper iron-based alloys, particularly stainless steel, have been popularly studied as plate material. In the following secfions, we will infroduce sfainless sfeel (SS) and SS plates, which have been extensively investigated and show promise for the final applications [6,11]. 

Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratories (PNNL, Richland, WA) are developing microreactors that produce synthesis gas. These reactors can be mass-produced to yield efficient, compact and cost-effective systems, and they have been made from copper, aluminum, stainless steel, high-temperature alloys, plastics and ceramics. Conventional technologies cannot take full advantage of the intrinsically rapid surface reactions involved in the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbon fuels, but microreactors with integrated catalyst structures can61. 

Steel phases have an influence on the rate of corrosion. Ferrite has a weak resistance to pitting. The presence of martensite can increase the hydrogen fragilization of steel. Intermetallic phases as Fe2Mo in high Ni content alloys can influence the corrosion resistance. The precipitate CuA12 in aluminum alloys the series 2000 is more noble than the matrix, with corrosion around the precipitate. The majority of case histories reported in the literature have involved austenitic stainless steels, aluminum alloys, and to a lesser degree, some ferritic stainless steels and nickel-based alloys.31... 

If the total amount of other metals present in iron exceeds about 5%, the alloy is sometimes called a high-alloy steel. Most stainless steels are in this category because the chromium content is between 10% and 25%, and some types also contain 4% to 20% nickel. Stainless steels, so-called because of their resistance to corrosion, are of several types. The form of iron having the fee structure is known as y-Fe or austenite. Therefore, one type of stainless steel (that also contains nickel) is known as austenitic stainless steel because it has the austenite (fee) structure. Martensitic stainless steels have a structure that contains a body-centered...

The third, from -151° down through -325°F, is necessary to liquefy methane and nitrogen and uses more highly alloyed steels such as 9% nickel, stainless steel or nonferrous metals and alloys such as copper, aluminum, nickel, etc.

Corrosion rates and those of mechanochemical wear of stainless steels and alloys widely applied in friction joints of chemical equipment are presented in Table 4.2 [30]. Owing to the formation of passivating protective films on contact with hostile media, these materials display high corrosion resistance. As can be seen from the table, corrosion rates grow during friction by a factor of thousand. Under such conditions, the material wears largely due to corrosion even in a weak solution of sulfuric acid for both sliding friction over a softer material (PE) and under abrasive action (ceramics). 

High-alloy steels (> 5% alloy components) [Henker 1999] are stainless and acid-resistant and are therefore the most important materials in chemical plant construction. Pipelines and apparatus made of these materials are resistant to all types of weather and thus do not require protective coatings.Two widely used steel types, developed by Krupp in 1914, are V2A and V4A ...
