The effect of low pH in erosion-corrosion resistance of high chromium cast irons and stainless steels

Corrosive wear is a form of material degradation that is known to occur on equipment and components that handle suspended solids in aqueous solutions. This surface deterioration process is generally enhanced when the fluids contain chlorides that are acidic in nature. Such environments are encountered in many applications, one such example being the minerals processing industry. High chromium white cast irons are widely used in many engineering...
