What you will learn
• Identify the key reasons stainless steels outperform carbon steel in municipal wastewater treatment plants.
• Distinguish between the corrosion resistance of different stainless-steel grades, particularly 304L and 316L, under varying pH, oxygen levels, and chemical exposures.
• Interpret corrosion-test data from multiple wastewater environments and apply it to material selection.
• Recognize the role of fabrication practices—such as full-penetration welding, inert backing gas, and removal of heat-tint scale—in achieving long service life.
• Evaluate situations where higher-alloy materials or specific design measures are needed to prevent crevice corrosion, MIC, or chloride-related damage.
• Apply life-cycle cost concepts to compare stainless steel with coated or galvanized carbon steel in long-term wastewater applications.
