1. Carbon Steel (WCB, WCC) :
• Suitable for general applications.
• Limited corrosion resistance; avoid corrosive environments.
• Typically used in non-corrosive fluids at moderate temperatures.
2. Low Alloy Steel (WC6, WC9) :
• Better corrosion resistance than carbon steel.
• Suitable for moderate temperature and pressure services.
• Commonly used in power generation and petrochemical industries.
3. Stainless Steel (CF8, CF8M) :
• Excellent corrosion resistance.
• Suitable for corrosive environments, chemical processing, and seawater applications.
• CF8M (316 stainless steel) is more corrosion-resistant than CF8 (304 stainless steel).
4. Duplex Stainless Steel (CD3MN, CD4MCu) :
• Offers higher strength and corrosion resistance compared to traditional stainless steel.
• Suitable for corrosive and high-stress applications, such as offshore and chemical processing.
5. Nickel Alloys (C276, CW2M) :
• Excellent corrosion resistance in highly corrosive environments.
• Suitable for applications involving acids, caustic solutions, and extreme temperatures.
6. Titanium (Gr. 2, Gr. 12) :
• Excellent corrosion resistance, especially in seawater.
• Suitable for offshore and marine applications.
7. High-Temperature Alloys (Inconel, Hastelloy) :
• Resistant to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals.
• Suitable for high-temperature and corrosive services, such as in chemical processing and refineries.
8. Trim Materials :
• Standard Trim (13% Cr, Stellite): Suitable for general applications.
• Corrosion-Resistant Trim (316 SS, 17-4 PH): Suitable for corrosive environments.
• Hard-faced Trim (Stellite, Tungsten Carbide): Suitable for erosive and abrasive services.
