Generally, appropriate materials and coatings are the most important safeguards against corrosion. End users should carefully consider environmental conditions during material selection and preparation because good decisions in this stage will increase service life, uptime, and safety, while reducing costs.
In the chemical processing industries, additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have made parts production faster and less expensive, and they can be used to produce parts with more complex designs than possible with traditional manufacturing techniques.
In refineries and petrochemical plants, frequent contact with process media can result in premature corrosion of valves and related components. To help prevent this, vendors can provide expert advice and, in some cases, lab testing to verify compatibility between...
