Materials of Construction - Metals - Alloy C-22
September 29, 2004
Introduction
Alloy C-22 is a versatile
nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy with improved resistance to both uniform and
localized corrosion as well as to a variety of mixed industrial chemicals. It has
excellent resistance to oxidizing aqueous media including wet chlorine and mixtures
containing nitric acid or oxidizing acids with chloride ions.
Alloy C-22 has exceptional resistance to a
wide variety of chemical process environments, including strong oxidizers such as ferric
and cupric chlorides, chlorine, hot contaminated solutions (organic and inorganic), formic
and acetic acids, acetic anhydride and seawater and brine solutions.
