What you will learn
• Differentiate sulphuric acid concentration ranges (dilute, intermediate, concentrated) and understand how each affects corrosion behaviour.
• Identify the corrosion characteristics of major alloy groups, including carbon steels, stainless steels, high-silicon alloys, nickel-based alloys, and duplex steels, when exposed to sulphuric acid.
• Explain the role of temperature, flow, and oxidation state in accelerating or reducing corrosion in sulphuric-acid handling equipment.
• Evaluate how contaminants such as chlorides, fluorides, nitrates, ferric ions, and cupric ions alter corrosion resistance and alloy performance.
• Recognize suitable materials of construction for processes involving sulphuric acid production, storage, transport, and processing.
• Understand the purpose and application of anodic protection in extending the service life of stainless steels in strong sulphuric acid.
• Compare the performance limits of specialty alloys such as Alloy 20, Alloy C-276, B-series Ni-Mo alloys, and high-silicon stainless steels across various operating conditions.
