Corrosion Resistance

Alloy 400 has outstanding resistance to neutral and alkaline salts. It has been a standard material for salt plants for many years.

This alloy is one of the few metallic materials that can be used in contact with fluorine, hydrofluoric

acid, hydrogen fluorine, or other derivatives. Alloy 400 shows very high resistance to caustic alkalies. Behavior in seawater is also excellent, with improved resistance to cavitation corrosion compared to copper-based alloys. It can be used in contact with dilute solutions of mineral acids, such as sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, particularly if they are air-free. However, as the alloy contains no chromium, corrosion rates may increase significantly in oxidizing conditions.

While Alloy 400 can be considered immune to chloride-ion stress cracking, it can stress crack in the presence of mercury or in most aerated HF vapors. A stress-relieving heat treatment is applied in such cases.
