OverviewMaterial selection is a combination of property, price, and product availability. Many materials are discussed in the industry, but very few are produced in the product forms required for a project. We often face the difficult decision of which material is the right choice for our purpose, e
Key Properties of Stainless Steel 321Stainless steel 321 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing Titanium which is recommended for parts fabricated by welding which cannot subsequently be annealed. It offers excellent corrosion resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding.
What is Monel 400?Monel 400 is a nickel-copper alloy (about 67% Ni – 23% Cu) that is resistant to sea water and steam at high temperatures as well as to salt and caustic solutions. Alloy 400 is a solid solution alloy that can only be hardened by cold working. This nickel alloy exhibits characteristi
What are the characteristics of Hastelloy C22?Hastelloy C22 alloy (UNS N06022) is one of the well-known and well-proven nickel-chromium-molybdenum materials, the chief attributes of which are resistance to both oxidizing and non-oxidizing chemicals, and protection from pitting, crevice attack, and s
What are the Features of 904L?Stainless steel 904L (UNS N08904) is a superaustenitic stainless steel designed for corrosion and pitting resistance in a wide range of process environments. This grade is written as 1.4539 or X1NiCrMoCu25-20-5 according to EN norm and it is written as UNS S08904 accord
What is Stainless Steel 254 SMO Material?Alloy 254 SMO is an austenitic stainless steel alloy with 6% molybdenum and nitrogen. By increasing the molybdenum content to 6%, it achieves a pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) > 43. It has a very high resistance to crevice and surface corrosion. A
