About Stainless Steel (AISI 316) AISI 316 is an iron-carbon alloy with chromium, nickel and molybdenum being the main alloying elements. Chromium will form a protective oxide layer when exposed to oxygen and thus the corrosion resistance of Stainless Steel increases compared to plain carbon steel. The general corrosion resistance of AISI 316 is therefore depending on the resistance of the protective oxide layer.

About Hastelloy® Application Hastelloy® is a family of nickel alloys with a very wide application area. The Hastelloy® electrode is characterized by having a high resistance towards localized corrosion which is a great advantage in chloride-containing environments at high temperatures. Furthermore, Hastelloy® has a high level of all-round corrosion resistance which can be attributed to the content of chromium and molybdenum. Chromium increases the resistance to oxidizing conditions and molybdenum increases the resistance to reducing environments. Siemens Flow Instruments uses the grades, C22 and C276 as electrode material in its electromagnetic flowmeters.

About Titanium Application Availability The Titanium electrode has an excellent corrosion resistance in many aggressive environments, particularly oxidizing and chloride-containing media. The only corrosion limitation of titanium is applications in reducing acids such as sulphuric and hydrochloric acids. The corrosion resistance of Titanium relies on the formation of a passive surface film composed of Titanium oxide (mainly TiOx2). This passive film is very stable and has a self-healing effect as long as the surrounding environment contains oxygen or other oxidizing agents.

This makes it a superior choice for applications in the chemical industry. About Tantalum Application Tantalum is very corrosion-resistant and has a resistance level similar to glass. Once the metal is exposed to air, a thin layer of highly resistant Tantalum oxide is formed, which makes it resistant to almost all kinds of chemicals. Corrosion can only take place in fluor-containing media and unwanted scale formation can occur in alkalis. It is a rather soft metal and thus not very abrasive-resistant.

Platinum is chosen when tantalum is not sufficiently corrosion-resistant. About Platinum Application Platinum has a very noble and immune character which makes it extremely corrosion-resistant. Corrosive attack of platinum at room temperature will mainly take place in mixtures of strong oxidizing acids. Furthermore, platinum has excellent high-temperature characteristics with stable electrical properties. Different grades of platinum are available as electrode material at Siemens Flow Instruments.

Thus the final responsibility of material selection resides with the user who knows the specific process conditions. The data presented in this guide is based on published data and field experience.
