An alloy that performs flawlessly in a temperature-controlled warehouse can corrode to failure in months at a coastal installation, and a metal that thrives in seawater may become dangerously brittle in a cryogenic storage facility. Choosing alloy for environments is the engineering discipline of matching a metal’s chemical composition, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance profile…
