Ammonium Nitrate and Aluminum; possible hazardous reaction?
Ammonium Nitrate and Aluminum; possible hazardous reaction?
(OP)
Hey guys,
First off, let me apologize if this is the wrong place to post this question. I have ZERO experience regarding chemistry in general. I have a customer interested in a piece of equipment that is to be placed in an Ammonium Nitrate plant. This equipment is by weight mostly Aluminum (6063). There are also a number of galvanized steel fasteners, and stainless steel parts. Googling these keywords only gets me to countless hits regarding explosives.
Is Ammonium Nitrate in any way reactive to these metals without external means of persuasion? Maybe a dumb question but it's probably dumber to not ask.
Thanks guys,
~Mark

I would have thought that corrossion would be a bigger conern but, hey if the customer wants to use an Aluminium fabricated piece of kit in his plant, by all means sell him one if thats what he wants
