corrosion resistance
(OP)
I am looking for recommendations on a corrosion resistant metal suitable for immersion in a process water with 130000 ppm chlorides, pH 5.5, salinity as NaCl 212967 ppm.
This material must be workable for small hardware parts, be strong for gears and large shafts.
I have been given the suggestion of 6XN but wish to confirm and get other recomendations.
Thanks

Thanks for your information. Of course, there are few guarantees in life, that is why I used "essentially" in my original post. The fact remains that titanium and its alloys are used extensively in chloride containing environments due to its (usual) inertness. One reason to consider it over the other alloys mentioned is its strength/density ratio - it can have around the same strength as the nickel alloys at about half the density. This can make for low mass items (good performance in moving parts like shafts, etc.), and reduce the amount of material that must be purchased (a good thing when considering the cost of the alloys mentioned in this thread).
