Practical Applications of Clad Materials in Chemical Process Environments

From ATI Wah Chang
 

 

The use of reactive metals in chemical process environments is increasing because of increased awareness that they withstand corrosion attack in aggressive organic and inorganic chemicals. Predictable, high corrosion resistance is increasingly required as operating conditions become more extreme.
