Understanding Monel 400Monel 400 is a nickel-copper alloy that is hardened by cold working only. Monel 400 has low corrosion rate in flowing seawater, therefore it is widely used in marine applications. Monel 400 also has excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in most freshwaters. Monel 4

Introduction254SMO (UNS S31254, ASTM F44, 1.4547) is a so-called super austenitic stainless steel. By increasing the molybdenum content to 6%, it achieves a pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) > 43, which is similar to that of a super duplex stainless steel (SDSS). When comparing 254SMO to s

Stainless steel 321 is a titanium-stabilized chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel with corrosion resistance similar to 304/304L. This grade is typically used in the 800-1500˚F range. Titanium addition stabilizes it against chromium carbide precipitation, resulting in titanium carbide formation.
