Hastelloy D205 Corrosion Resistant Alloy
HASTELLOY D205 is not a well-known nickel alloy but with 20% chrome and a 5% silicon content is extremely resistant to oxidizing acids and thus well suited to applications such as plate heat exchanges.
HASTELLOY D-205 alloy is an advanced high-silicon alloy based on the Ni-20Cr system. Its chief advantages over high silicon-iron based alloys (e.g. Fe-17Cr-20Ni-5Si) are excellent formability, good resistance to elevated-temperature embrittlement, and superior performance in many concentrations of sulfuric acid. D-205 alloy also possesses high resistance to stress corrosion cracking and is considerably more resistant to pitting corrosion than Type 316L Stainless Steel and Fe-17Cr-20Ni-5Si alloys.
Given these attributes, D-205 alloy constitutes an ideal sulfuric acid, plate-heat-exchanger material. Also, the alloy is very useful for all hardware involved with the processing of highly oxidizing media. An added benefit is that the yield strength of D-205 can be more than doubled (from 49 ksi to 104 ksi) by age-hardening.
