CHLORIDE RESISTANCE ALLOY 1

[ibf]

Hello !

1. Does anybody know if there is a corrosion alloy selection software that guides you on the selection of alloys for different corrosive environments and applications ?

2. What would be the most appropriate alloys for water at 30 Celsius and 1,130 ppm of chloride ?

Thank you.

You can try the Nickel Development Institute, see the following web site. They had some free software that you could download with good technical information on various nickel-based alloys.

I would consider AL-6XN in your situation.

You might also consider the Cambridge Materials Selector. If I recall correctly this uses the Ashby system to provide an optimization for materials selection and process design.

Here is a good one from Nace. It is a computer version of the Corrosion Data Survey called "Cor*Sur2".

Look around the nace site as there may be additional information closer to your requirements.

Contact Trent Tube for a paper given by Dan Janikowski last year, or year before. It does a good job of a side by side comparison of a lot of alloys for specific chloride tests. They will always tout their SeaCure alloy over AL6XN, 400 series SS, or even some Duplex alloys.

Go to the NACE International webpage at

http://www.nace.org/nacestore/dept.asp?Cat_ID=2923&web_name=Individual+Conference+Papers+(1996-2003)

to review abstracts of and purchase copies of technical papers presented at the annual symposia for the last several years. There is a whole category of papers dealing with corrosion of alloys in water, including marine environments.
