Abstract
Disclosed is a nickel-base alloy which provides excellent corrosion resistance to a variety of severe environments, especially hot phosphoric acid. The alloy preferably contains, in weight percent: about 30 chromium, about 4 molybdenum, about 2 tungsten, about 1 Cb/Ta, about 1.5 copper, about 14 iron and the balance nickel plus the impurities and modifying elements usually found in alloy of this class. The alloy is eminently suited for use as articles in chemical processing apparatus in the manufacture and/or containment of phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid.
Claims3
An alloy characterized by a high degree of corrosion resistance to phosphoric acid consisting essentially of, in weight percent, chromium 26 to 35, molybdenum 3 to 6, tungsten 1 to 4, Cb plus Ta 0.3 to 2.0, copper 1 to 3, iron 10-18, manganese up to 1.5, silicon up to 1.0, carbon 0.10 maximum, aluminum up to 0.8, titanium up to 0.5 and the balance nickel plus incidental impurities wherein the ratio of molybdenum to tungsten is between 1.5 to 1 and 4 to 1 to provide said high degree of corrosion resistance.
