I need to specify an insulation system for stainless steel pipes. In the past AISI 316 has been used but after some years in service, severe SCC has occured. I have specified the use of either SAF 2205 or 904L as suitable alternatives that are resistant to SCC. The pipes carry water at 85C...
I am looking for data for the corrosion rate of 316 and 317 stainless in water at 85 degrees C, and would like to compare this to nickel alloy, specifically hastalloy C. Does anyone know if this data is easily available in a handbook?
The problem I am trying to solve is an alternative material...
