Metal Corrosion Resistance

Overview

Engineering reference data for Metal Corrosion Resistance in material science and properties.

Key Formulas

Stress

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$

Force per unit area.

Strain

$\varepsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0}$

Change in length per original length.

Hooke's Law

$\sigma = E \varepsilon$

Stress proportional to strain in elastic region.

Thermal Expansion

$\Delta L = \alpha L_0 \Delta T$

Length change due to temperature.

Variables

Corrosion Resistance Data

The following table provides a comprehensive reference for material compatibility with various process fluids. Use this data as a starting point for material selection, but always verify with material producers for specific applications.

Rating System

• 1 (Good): Material is generally suitable for the fluid
• 2 (Be Careful): Material may be usable under certain conditions; consult manufacturer
• 3 (Not Usable): Material is not recommended for this fluid
• na: Data not available

Important Considerations

Corrosion is a complex phenomenon influenced by:

• Fluid composition and concentration
• Temperature and pressure conditions
• Presence of dissolved gases (e.g., oxygen, air)
• Galvanic effects in multi-metal constructions
• Flow velocity and turbulence
