Considerations for materials selection
Corrosion Resistance
There are many types of
corrosion, each of which poses a
risk that must be evaluated
during the selection of materials
with the optimum corrosion
resistance for your application.
The best way to avoid a problem
is to detect it before it appears.
Inspection can take many forms,
from visual inspection to ensure
that the material is free of
surface defects, to the use of
non-destructive testing methods,
to specific tests that detect
susceptibility to corrosion.
For example, higher amounts of
nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) in
316 stainless steel than the
minimum required by the
American Society of Testing and
Materials (now ASTM
International) specifications
result in materials that are more
resistant to corrosion.
