    Ferrite testing

    Ferrite levels in materials are important for all of the reasons already mentioned. Measurement of ferrite using a Ferritscope or Severn Gauge is a good idea - especially for duplex materials. Cast austenitic stainless steels typically have anywhere from 8-18% ferrite in them. This is due to...

    Inconel 625 bhn??

    I assume that you are dealing with potential H2S issues? Sour gas or similar? this sounds like a flowdown of MR0175...is that it?

    Chloride limits for stainless steels

    I concur with some of the information you have already. I think that the Superaustenitic grades (6Mo or higher) would be a great stepping stone. A concern will be critical crevice temperature and I do not know how you would work to avoid it at 98C - high, obviously. I would look into CK3MCuN...

    Stainless steel vs Titanium on H.E. Plates

    There are stainless steels that have alloyed copper and do much hetter in Microbially Induced Corrosion (MIC) attack, if that is of concern. I would look into something like Ferralium (duplex stainless steel with Cu) as an option if you want to look into Ferralium.

    Stainless steel application for Oily Water

    Looking at the combination of temperatures and solutes, I would be concerned about 410ss. An issue that may be of consideration is the Critical Crevice Temperature - I believe the chloride concentration is high enough that you need to think about crevice corrosion (and pitting) and the...
