electric waterheating element for hard water
(OP)
What materials have proven to be the most resistant to the agressive action of hard water on domestic type electric hotwater element sheaths. The problem seems to occur after a layer of lime builds up and insulates the heat transfer between the element sheath and surrounding water thereby raising the sheaths surface temperature.Corrosion is then accentuated. I was going to experiment with 316 s/s but have since realised there are many more alloys available which may be better.

increases corrosion in this area.I am looking at a design for possible manufacture using a single tube of a material which will at least help solve the corrosion problem.
