Looking for the right Metal
Looking for the right Metal
(OP)
I am a researcher in Chemical engineering who is currently designing and building a prototype reactor.
Unfortunately because of the specifications I need to meet and my lack of real metal knowledge, it is very hard to find the right kind of metal for my task. Most sites that deal with these metals do so on large quote basis and cannot answer technical questions with ease.
I would appreciate any help.
From the following specifications I need a metal which will not deform at high temperature under the increased pressure.
Preferably something which is relatively inexpensive.
-The flow is non-corrosive
Temperature: 850 C (1562 F)
Pressure: 20 bar (~290 psi)
Other: Must be machinable pipe

RE: Looking for the right Metal
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
RE: Looking for the right Metal
Time period on longer tests could be a up to 3 days at a time
I have seen alloys like Hastelloy X/C-276 and Inconel 617.
But since initially my order is small its hard to price anything when there are so many choices.
