Virtually any ductile metal may be formed, from aluminum or stainless steel, to high-strength, high-temperature alloys including INX, Inconel, Grade 50 / Corten, and Hastelloy.
22.
For example, it was demonstrated that : the fuel salt was immune to radiation damage, the graphite was not attacked by the fuel salt, and the corrosion of Hastelloy-N was negligible.
23.
Metal diaphragms of stainless steel ( several grades ), Carpenter 20, Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel, tantalum, titanium and several other metals are in common use where high pressure ratings and specific chemical compatibility are required.
24.
All of these requirements call for careful selection of strong, thermally-conductive, corrosion-resistant, high quality tube materials, typically metals, including aluminium, copper alloy, stainless steel, carbon steel, non-ferrous copper alloy, Inconel, nickel, Hastelloy and titanium.
25.
"' Hastelloy "'is a registered trademark name of Haynes International, Inc . The trademark is applied as the prefix name of a range of 22 different highly corrosion-resistant metal alloys, loosely grouped by the metallurgical industry under the material term superalloys or high-performance alloys.
26.
The MSRE's piping, core vat and structural components were made from Hastelloy-N and its moderator was a moderated it, and its secondary coolant was FLiBe ( 2LiF-BeF 2 ), it operated as hot as 650 �C and operated for the equivalent of about 1.5 years of full power operation.
27.
The primary function of the Hastelloy super alloys is that of effective survival under high-temperature, high-stress service in a moderately to severely corrosive, and / or erosion-prone environment where iron-based alloys would fail, including the pressure vessels of some nuclear reactors, chemical reactors, distillation equipment, and pipes and valves in chemical industry.
28.
Additionally, SAMSON AG and its associated companies VETEC Ventiltechnik GmbH, Pfeiffer Chemie-Armaturenbau GmbH, LEUSCH GmbH and CERA SYSTEM Verschlei�schutz GmbH offer technologies for severe requirements : e . g . abrasive and contaminated fluids, high shutdown pressures, lowest interior and exterior leak rates, quick-action, on-off, and control functions, as well as alloys like Monel, Hastelloy, titanium, zirconium, duplex, etc.
