C-22 alloy was selected for this application after extensive testing in the actual bleach washer environment. It has already given over 10 years of service with no corrosive attack. Twenty different materials were tested for this hydrofluoric acid prescrubber after the original material failed. C-22 alloy had four times better corrosion resis- tance than the original material and 20 percent better than the next candidate. The process involves 20 percent HF, 64 per- cent H2SO4 and 16 percent water at 150 to 200°F. Solid rocket propellant effluents and salt air caused pitting and crevice corrosion attack of stainless steel. C-22 alloy was selected over 19 different alloys for the clamshell bellows after extensive testing. The bellows have been in service for more than 12 years. Sleeved electrogalvanizing finish- ing rolls made of HASTELLOY C-22 alloy are ready for place- ment in a steel finishing manufacturing line. C-22 alloy helps reduce defects on the rolls which is necessary to produce defect free galvanized steel for the automotive industry. HASTELLOY® C-22® alloy 6 Typical Applications (continued) Acid pump, fortified with a C-22 alloy sleeve, is still providing excellent service after 9 years in a continuous stainless steel pickling operation. The acid consists of 2 percent hydrofluoric acid, 20 percent hydrochloric acid, and as much as 40 gm/liter of iron, at 170°F. Conditions were so severe in C-stage bleaching operations at one mill that even C-276 alloy welds were suspect.
