I need advice on the material selection for high-speed centrifuges; with a chloride ion content of over 8,000, what material should be used?
Thread Content
The temperature is around 40 degrees Celsius at room temperature, the environment is slightly alkaline with a pH of around 8; it is a chloride-containing liquid with a concentration of over 8,000, and 316L material is used for the high-speed centrifuge equipment. Is it feasible? If not, what materials should we consider as suitable? Thank you!
The temperature is not high, and there are no other acidic substances; 316L is suitable
316L is a US standard grade for stainless steel, containing titanium. It can effectively resist chloride corrosion, making it a suitable choice.

At a temperature of 40 degrees, if the chloride ion content is greater than 505, 316L stainless steel cannot be used; instead, alloy 20 duplex stainless steel must be employed.
No problem at all; 316L centrifuges are used for potassium chloride, so what’s there to worry about?
