Material for oxygen starved environment
Material for oxygen starved environment
(OP)
Hi, I am looking for a recommendation for a material to be used in a nitrogen atmosphere ,1% oxygen or less. The material needs to to be capable of handling 150 degrees C with some sea water vapour and trace amounts of organic solvents (benzine, toluene, xylene). We don't think that stainless will work (304/316) because of the low oxygen and the chlorides in the sea water, but we are looking at galvanized steel. Any ideas would be appreciated

I am familiar with the 6% Moly stainless (254sma/al6xn) but I am less familiar with the "super ferritic" steels. what grade or common name would I find them under?

These alloys are normally only used as tubing. The 6% Mo alloys (254, 6XN, 1925 et. al.) are often used for the componants that require thicker material or field welding.

They would be a good option here.
The more traditional option for this srevice would probably be Monel. Any of the other options listed would work as well or better, have higher strength, and be less expensive.
