Acid Proof Stainless Steel
Acid Proof Stainless Steel
(OP)
I have been trying to find out information regarding acid proof stainless steel, specifically 316L. The web is abound with suppliers but scant on specific information. Does anyone here know what it is and can you explain how it is different than normal 316L. As near as I can tell, the metal has merely been pickled; but, I don't have much faith in my findings. Any help is greatly appreciated!

RE: Acid Proof Stainless Steel
Also acids are all different with different corrosion mechanisms. Such a general statement as generic acid proof is impossible. Even the corrosion varies greatly over a range of compositions. 5% sulfuric will quickly dissolve 316L while 98% is fine with carbon steel and proper inspections.

These tricks can't change the corrosion resistance much, but in some cases it is enough.

do you think that this is just hogwash?
RE: Acid Proof Stainless Steel
You should know that there is no stainless steel imune to acid attack, there is only degree of resistance to corrosion. Please visit the Outocumpu website and download their free Corrosion handbook, it should be "The" technical book on everyones bookshelf.

There are a lot of good info on the web on materials resistance
Outokumpu (clik on corrosion handbook)

i've also gathered from the web some free info on materials resistance:

Thank you for that answer!! That was one of my suspicions and it fully explains almost everything. Thanks to everyone else that responded as well. I really appreciate and respect everyone's help!
