Is ammonium acetate corrosive to stainless steel?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, does ammonium acetate be corrosive to stainless steel? Could the prolonged flow of ammonium acetate in a stainless steel reactor cause damage to the reactor? Is it related to the temperature and pressure of ammonium acetate?
Your range of stainless steels is too wide – 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 317L, and so on are all types of stainless steel
Just considering the four stainless steel grades of 304, 304L, 316, and 316L, which one or which ones can be used as containers for ammonium acetate? Or which of these four stainless steels is less affected, or not affected at all, by ammonium acetate?
The figure shows the corrosion data for 304/304L and 316/316L; the data comes from Zuo Jingyi’s \"Corrosion Data and Material Selection Manual\", with corresponding temperatures of 25, 50, 80, and 100 respectively℃
Okay, thank you very much for your answer!
Considering temperature and acetic acid concentration, 316L is generally the better choice
