high velocity
(OP)
Hi dear members,
i'm asking if there is a material (metallic, non metallic or hybrid) which can survive to a sea water velocity of 120 m/s ?
thanks for your comments

RE: high velocity
Look at Ultimet from Haynes.
You could try a 6%Mo superaustenitic stainless, but I have only seen data to about 150 ft/sec.

I have used them as chokes in high flow situations, but I doubt that I ever went much over 200 ft/sec.
Is this a choke? If so then look at Silicon carbide ceramics.

If you had any length of this pipe you would get very little flow.
At this velocity 300m of pipe would have a 30bar pressure drop, that is 1,000 ft of head loss.

This is too small of a passage.
Your flow is in the 5GW range, way off.
Double check the math.
