This course is based on the Alloy Selection for Service in Hydrogen Fluoride, Hydrofluoric Acid and Fluorine (No. 10074).

It provides essential guidance for engineers and materials professionals involved in the design, fabrication, and operation of equipment exposed to hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrofluoric acid, and fluorine. The course summarizes the corrosion behavior of carbon steels, stainless steels, nickel alloys, copper-based alloys, and other metals, detailing the effects of concentration, temperature, velocity, contaminants, and environmental conditions on material performance. Emphasis is placed on selecting safe, reliable, and cost-effective alloys for these highly reactive and hazardous chemical environments.
