What is harder 316 stainless steel or 410 for shaft sleeves?
410 is a harder SS and it is readily harden-able as well! However, it has less corrosion resistance then 316.
Does 316sst have better corrosion resistance than 304sst in di water?
Compared to 304 grade stainless steel, the 316 has higher strength, can withstand higher temperatures, and yes it can resist corrosion better. One factor is the molybdenum content in the 316 grade which gives it the overall corrosion resistant properties. The downside, 316 stainless steel grade is way more expensive than 304.
What is boiler corrosion?
the decay of boiler material by chemical or electrochemical attack by its environment is known as boiler corrosion
What is the difference between Retrievable and Retractable corrosion probes?
Retrievable corrosion probes is meant for high pressure (3600 to 6000 psig). Retractable corrosion probes is meant for pressure about 1500 psig.
What is the best electrode material for the electrolysis of water?
platinum Expanding on the answer above, the best material for an electrode really depends on the application. When looking at electrode materials, you need to consider three factors: 1. Electrical Conductivity- Different materials resist the flow of electric current through them at varying levels. Copper, Gold, and Platinum are very good conductors. Alloys, Steel, Iron, and other metals are good conductors as well. 2. Corrosion Resistance- The electrolysis of water is very corrosive to the electrode material. If you use the wrong electrode material, you will have to replace the electrodes often. Platinum and 316L Stainless steel are the best options as far as corrosion resistance. Copper is very poor at resisting corrosion. 3. Price- Though platinum is probably the best overall choice for electrode material, it is very expensive. When designing a large, high output electrolyser the electrodes need to be large and have a lot of surface area. Making large electrodes out of platinum would not be an option for most. In conclusion, when choosing an electrode material you need to consider the above variables. In my opinion 316L stainless steel is the the best option for home made electrolysers because it is relatively cheap, has high corrosion resistance, and is a good electrical conductor. This material is also available in many different prefabricated shapes and sizes that can be custom fitted to your application. If price is not a concern, then platinum is the best material.
What is difference between corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance?
corrosion resistance is resistant against chemicals oxidation resisstance is restant against oxigen
Is alloys resist to corrosion?
Alloys can add corrosion resistance to a metal
The resistance of diamond to corrosion is a chemical property?
Yes
Does brass corode?
Brass has a good resistance to corrosion.
Is the resistance of diamond to corrosion is a chemical property?
Yes
Corrosion in a circuit results in high current flow?
When there is corrosion in a circuit, it results in lower current flow. This is because corrosion actually causes resistance.
Is ease of corrosion a physical change or a chemical change?
The ease of corrosion of resistance to corrosion is a chemical property and not a physical one. Corrosion is a chemical change which changes the identity of the substance.
