Corrosion Resistant Alloys Market -Outline
In corrosion-resistant alloys, Cr, Ni, and Mo are the most important basic alloying elements. Different percentage contents and different manufacturing methods form different types of corrosion-resistant alloys. The aforementioned elements are crucial to the formation of stable protective corrosion product film on structural members. Corrosion will start from the failure of protective corrosion product film.
The term corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA) is commonly used to cover all metals that are, to some degree, capable of resisting corrosion as compared with carbon steel. This resistivity to corrosion is not universal as it varies to a large degree on the specific corrosion environment and depends on the alloying composition of the given alloy.
These alloys vary considerably from each other and can be iron- or nickel-based material often alloyed with chromium or copper or any possible variations of different alloying elements. In fact, all the metals discussed in this chapter and some in subsequent chapters are part of the large and diverse family of CRA materials.
CRAs may also be susceptible to SSC, but in most cases both chloride ions and an elevated temperature are necessary conditions. Most CRA materials used for the fabrication of pipelines rely on chromium (and molybdenum) to provide corrosion resistance. The nickel content confers little corrosion resistance in comparison but it is essential to regain the mechanical properties lost by the addition of chromium and to enable the alloy to be welded.
Global Corrosion Resistant Alloys Market: Overview
Corrosion resistant alloys comprise variety of alloys used for providing basic and persistent protection against a wide range of corrosive environments. These come with varying resistance levels and provide long-term protection against different types of corrosion such as wet corrosion, crevice corrosion, pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, bimetallic corrosion, and atmospheric corrosion. Popular corrosion resistant alloys are iron-based, nickel-based, or cobalt-based are used widely in safety-critical elements, heat exchangers, pipelines, valves, wellhead components, and other facility equipment. The extent of protection depends on several parameters and the optimum one is decided depending on particular field conditions and environments.
