effect of acetone to SS 316L
effect of acetone to SS 316L
(OP)
Hello,
Appreciate the help of material engineer in here that could help me in my current problem now with my work.
Currently we found out that one of the pipe (material = SS 316L)during boroscopic inspection is already starting to build up corrosion. Is it ok that we use acetone (Dimethly Ketone (DMK), 2-propanone to remove the corrosion? Please advise
Thank you in advance.

The solvents will not hurt the 316.
And they might remove any deposits.
But solvents will not remove corrosion products.
If you have corrosion then you will need something stronger to remove corrosion products.
at least a chelating agent, and perhaps acids.
