The performance of duplex stainless steels in caustic soda

The performance of duplex stainless steels in caustic soda

Caustic soda (NaOH) is widely used in industry, and at lower temperatures and concentrations carbon steel is commonly used. However, at higher concentrations and temperatures the corrosion rate increases, and there is a significant risk of caustic stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
