Applications | Because of its resistance to chloride pitting and stress-corrosion cracking, S31803/S32205 is finding wide use in place of austenitic stainless steels for handling solutions containing chlorides such as in marine scrubbers. As a result of its wear, erosion and corrosion resistance, S31803/S32205 is particularly suitable for pumps, agitators and other critical components handling hot corrosive slurries. Special mention should be made of its performance in the production of fertilizer grade phosphoric acid by the "wet" process where the alloy finds extensive application. Some of the areas or industries of present or potential use for S31803/S32205 products follow: Chemical Process Industry: | Equipment Handling Fatty Acids, Terephthalic Acid and Polytheonic Acid, Sulfuric Acid Protection, Tank Internals, Rakes, Fasteners in Uranium Extraction | Copper Smelting: | Sulfuric Acid Production, Leaching Area, Precipitators, I.D.
