What you will learn
• Understand the differing corrosion behaviors of chlorine, hydrogen chloride gas, and aqueous hydrochloric acid.
• Identify how moisture, temperature, impurities, and oxidizing conditions influence material degradation.
• Recognize the performance characteristics of carbon steels, stainless steels, nickel-base alloys, copper alloys, titanium, zirconium, and tantalum in these environments.
• Select appropriate alloys for specific process conditions using corrosion rate limits and material compatibility charts.
• Anticipate common corrosion problems (pitting, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion cracking) and understand when corrosion allowances are or are not appropriate.
• Apply knowledge of industrial chlorine and HCl production processes to anticipate corrosion risks and choose suitable materials for reactors, piping, tubing, and equipment internals.
