Summary of the lecture
This publication provides an overview of material selection for equipment exposed to chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and hydrochloric acid in industrial environments. It explains how moisture, contaminants, and process conditions dramatically affect corrosion behavior, and it summarizes the performance of carbon steels, stainless steels, nickel-containing alloys, and reactive metals under various operating conditions. The guide also presents corrosion limits, typical applications, and recommended alloys for safe and reliable service.
What you will learn:
- Understand the differing corrosion behaviors of chlorine, hydrogen chloride gas, and aqueous hydrochloric acid.
- Identify how moisture, temperature, impurities, and oxidizing conditions influence material degradation.
- Recognize the performance characteristics of carbon steels, stainless steels, nickel-base alloys, copper alloys, titanium, zirconium, and tantalum in these environments.
- Select appropriate alloys for specific process conditions using corrosion rate limits and material compatibility charts.
- Anticipate common corrosion problems (pitting, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking) and understand when corrosion allowances are or are not appropriate.
- Apply knowledge of industrial chlorine and HCl production processes to anticipate corrosion risks and choose suitable materials for reactors, piping, tubing, and equipment internals.
