Applications
Alleima® 3R60 is used for a wide range of industrial applications where steels of type ASTM 304 and 304L have insufficient corrosion resistance. Typical examples are: heat exchangers, condensers, pipelines, cooling and heating coils in the chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper and food industries.
Corrosion resistance
Alleima® 3R60 has good resistance in:
- Organic acids at high concentrations and moderate temperatures
- Inorganic acids, e.g. phosphoric and sulfuric acids, at moderate concentrations and temperatures. The steel can also be used in sulfuric acid of concentrations above 90% at low temperature.
- Salt solutions, e.g. sulfates, sulfides and sulfites
- Caustic environments
