The Nickel Institute has published the latest in a series of updated technical publications aimed at helping engineers and specifiers select corrosion-resistant materials.
Alloy selection for service in organic acids (10063) reviews the corrosive effect of organic acids, such as formic, acetic and fatty acids, at all concentrations. The corrosive action of organic acids is complicated because these acids are not handled in isolation but rather as process mixtures with inorganic acids, organic solvents, and salts.
This fully revised technical publication from the Nickel Institute provides a useful guide for materials engineers and is available for free download.
