What is the difference between pickling and passivation?
What is pickling? Pickling is the process of treating metal surfaces to remove impurities from them. Inorganic pollutants, rust, scale, stains, etc. are examples of impurities. The metals we use for this process include precious metals such as copper and silver, aluminum alloys, iron and its allo...Read more -
What is the difference between Hastelloy C276 & Hastelloy C22?
Hastelloy is the brand name for a group of corrosion-resistant alloys. C-22 and C-276 are both Hastelloys, which can cause confusion, but Hastelloy C-22 has better overall corrosion resistance than Hastelloy C-276 and is often referred to as an upgraded version of Hastelloy C-276. What is Hastell...Read more -
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) mechanism and prevention methods
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the process by which engineering materials gradually degrade in a corrosive environment. Every year, many ductile metals and alloys fail due to stress corrosion cracking, which begins with the initiation, propagation and propagation of cracks to their destructiv...Read more -
