Alloy for hot chlorine service
Alloy for hot chlorine service
(OP)
I need an alloy option for a 400C dry chlorine service. Pressure is low <50 psig. Application is as a melting tank and reactor for a molten metal reaction. Reactor design temperature is probably 450C or better.
Any ideas. The reactor is small maybe 10 gallons so exotic alloys are acceptable.

RE: Alloy for hot chlorine service
What type of molten metal????
Need a maximum reactor temperature for design. ...Or better... does not cut it.

RE: Alloy for hot chlorine service
Not to be coy but the metal is from the same family as lead, and has similar characteristics. So it is not a sodium or lithium type metal.
Design temperature is 450 deg C.
Once the reactor metalurgy is determined the next challange will be how do you valve off a molten metal at the bottom of the reactor to get small quantities out of the reactor???

Picking an alloy to handle the metal will be the trick.
If this is really dry, like -80C dew point dry, then you don't have much concern for regular corrosion mechanisms. Just make sure that it never gets exposed to the air.
