SELECTING METALS FOR CORROSION RESISTANCE

 		 

 

Selecting metals for their resistance to corrosion should be considered as a part of the overall material selection process. Corrosion resistance as well as strength, ductility, fabricability, availability, and cost are all factors that must be considered in selecting a material. In order to make specific materials selections, detailed information on the corrosion properties as well as other materials properties must be obtained and evaluated.  For each family of alloys and metals a dedicated page with a brief description of the mechanical and corrosion properties and links to useful documents
