Understanding the benefits of different types of metals and metal grades is a critical step in creating the specifications for capital investments in industrial equipment. Understanding the subtle differences between material grades ensures that engineering teams in the industrial sphere are making the right decision when in the equipment design process.
For example, customers in the power generation industry frequently use RA 253 MA® for furnace facing equipment because of it’s good performance at temperatures up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Or, for customers designing ASME vessels and skids to process highly corrosive chemicals, Inconel® 625 is used for it’s superior aqueous corrosion resistance and weldability.
