Materials selection for corrosion is largely empirical despite large amount of theoretical knowledge. Corrosion behavior is full of discontinuities and sharp changes of reaction rates. Even manufacturers of proprietary alloys some times do not fully know the uses of their alloy.

Corrosion in nitration plants is complex as it depends strongly on Nitric Acid concentration, temperature (sharp rise in corrosion above 20 degrees C), purity of Nitric Acid (traces of Nitrous and other oxides of Nitrogen are very corrosive), and alloy composition. For pure nitric acid very pure...
