Dear experts, What materials would be suitable for seawater, 40ppm, 38-50 degrees Centigrade. I am looking at the most economical material to use (i.e ruling out the use of titanium) for a 20 year design life. I know that Duplex 2205 or 2507 are options but your feedback would be appreciated. Regards, Ndi.

Ndi77 The answer to your question would depend on what component or equipment you have in mind, its design and geometry and its intended service. There are many alloys that are used in seawater, depending on the application. David Hendrix The Hendrix Group Inc.

NDi77, Another candidate would be Alleghney Ludlum's AL6XN......but, of course, your material selection would depend a lot on what exactly you are trying to do.. AL6XN may be slightly more expensive than duplex....but it may be the best choice depending on your application. http://www.alleghenyludlum.com/ludlum/pages/products/xq/asp/M.3/qx/product.asp?P=40# Is this component a tank, pump or heat exchanger ? tell us more......
