What you will learn
• Differentiate between the main families of nickel alloys and describe their key alloying elements.
• Explain how composition influences corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and mechanical strength.
• Recognize common forms of aqueous and high-temperature attack—including pitting, crevice corrosion, oxidation, sulfidation, carburization, and nitridation—and identify alloys best suited to resist them.
• Evaluate alloy performance based on mechanical properties, microstructural stability, and service temperature limits.
• Apply recommended welding and fabrication practices to maintain corrosion and heat resistance in finished equipment.
• Select appropriate nickel alloys for chemical and petrochemical processes based on environmental conditions, operating temperatures, and life-cycle cost considerations.
