Summary of the lecture
This course outlines the key characteristics, performance attributes, and selection principles for corrosion- and heat-resistant nickel alloys used in chemical processing environments. It explains the metallurgical basis for their strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, and compares the behavior of major alloy families—including Ni-Cu, Ni-Cr, Ni-Cr-Mo, and Ni-Mo grades—across a range of aggressive aqueous and high-temperature conditions. Guidance is provided on alloy identification, mechanical properties, corrosion mechanisms, welding practices, and typical industrial applications, helping engineers evaluate suitable materials for demanding service environments.
What you will learn:
- Differentiate between the main families of nickel alloys and describe their key alloying elements.
- Explain how composition influences corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and mechanical strength.
- Recognize common forms of aqueous and high-temperature attack—including pitting, crevice corrosion, oxidation, sulfidation, carburization, and nitridation—and identify alloys best suited to resist them.
- Evaluate alloy performance based on mechanical properties, microstructural stability, and service temperature limits.
- Apply recommended welding and fabrication practices to maintain corrosion and heat resistance in finished equipment.
- Select appropriate nickel alloys for chemical and petrochemical processes based on environmental conditions, operating temperatures, and life-cycle cost considerations.
