ACETIC AND FORMIC ACIDS<br />
Acetic and formic acids are two of the more common organic acids. These<br />
acids are non-oxidizing in nature and all the Cabot Wrought Products Division<br />
alloys described offer good resistance. Corrosion problems often arise,<br />
however, because of the presence of impurities such as oxygen and halide ions.<br />
HASTELLOye; alloys B-2, C-276 and C-4, HAYNESB' alloy No. 25 and<br />
MULTIM ET® alloy have excellent resistance to acetic acid at all concentrations<br />
and tem peratures.<br />
Alloy No. 25 and MULTIMET alloy have excellent resistance to formic acid<br />
at room tem perature and 150 deg. F (66 deg. C).<br />
HYDR<strong>OF</strong>LUORIC ACID<br />
Hydrofluoric acid is one of the most corrosive chemicals. Corrosion is<br />
promoted by the presence of oxidizers in the acid solutions. Alloys with good<br />
corrosion resistance in HF solutions generally form a fluoride film and are<br />
therefore, susceptible to accelerated corrosion under conditions of high velocity.<br />
HASTELLOY alloys G, G-3 and C-276 have been used, successfully, as<br />
linings for hydrofluoric acid kilns. Alloy G also has been used for condenser<br />
tubes which handle the hydrofluoric gas after it leaves the kiln.<br />
Alloys C-276, G and G-3 have good resistance to abrasion and corrosion<br />
from sulfuric acid, fluorspar and hydrogen fluoride gas - even at high<br />
temperatures.<br />
