Good Afternoon,
Im relatively new to heat exchanger piping and vessels that stand up well to salt water service and was hoping someone could provide some guidance on the difference between super duplex stainless steel (2507) vs titanium for piping and heat exchanger tubes.
The pressures are low, less than 50 psi.
The temperatures are also relatively low, less than 100F.
The titanium option is much more expensive and just wondering if the super duplex SS will be a problem.
In my experience from the past with 316 and lower grade SS, the welding seems to be the weak point with SS. I'm wondering if the super duplex stainless steel would resolve that weakness.
Any insight or direction on the application difference would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
