brine pump material
(OP)
Good day fellow engineers
I have a centrifugal pump used to pump brine (salt solution) for water treatment process. there is evident corrosion on the pump casing which is of cast iron/steel material (see attached image). my question is what is the right pump components' material to use for pumping brine?
Kindest regards

But plastic usage shall be limited incase of high temperature and pressure. The pump in the photograph looks to be a small size and not a high power pump.
