Webinar Outline

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring how the corrosion limits of stainless steel applications are influenced by critical factors like crevices, composition, chlorides, chlorine, construction, contamination, cleaning, and care. This session will provide a detailed breakdown of these elements, offering practical examples and discussions to enhance your understanding.

Key topics include:

  • Crevices: Why they matter and the role of PRE (Pitting Resistance Equivalent)
  • Critical temperatures: Understanding Critical Pitting and Crevice temperatures
  • Material combinations: Insights into metal/metal vs. polymer/metal crevices
  • Chlorides and chlorine: Their effects, acceptable concentrations, and how conditions like time, temperature, and movement impact corrosion
  • Fabrication and storage: Preventing contamination and ensuring proper care before, during, and after fabrication
  • Surface roughness: When and why it matters
  • Treatment comparisons: Exploring chemical, physical, and electrochemical options
  • Site practices: Protecting stainless steel during transport and on-site storage

This comprehensive session is ideal for professionals working with stainless steel in diverse applications. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your knowledge!
