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 />
