"Titanium Alloys - How To Capitalize on the Performance in Demanding Corrosive Applications While Assuring Against Failure"

Presented at the 49th CPI Expo at the Javits Convention Center, New York City, October, 2001

Introduction:

Titanium alloys along with their reactive metal brethren can provide significant advantages over the more historically specified nickel base and high alloy stainless steels in corrosive chemical process environments. The downside of titanium is that misapplication, faulty design or operation of equipment outside the anticipated process conditions can lead to unacceptable equipment failure. This risk can be inconsequential when a structured approach is applied to the selection process, when proper equipment design practices are employed and cooperation between the process and operations communities assures that process conditions stay within prescribed limits of safe alloy performance.

This paper is complementary to the 2001 Chem Show Conference Program presentation, that focuses on some of the key considerations that one needs to take with respect to specification, equipment design, and maintenance of titanium process equipment to assure long-term trouble free performance. In the oral presentation the focus is on the structured approach to be applied for alloy selection, from a corrosion standpoint, and the required operational control that history has shown can translate into decades of trouble and maintenance free service.

Abstract
Titanium, at long last, is now being viewed, accepted and used as a material for the prevention of corrosion, the reduction and elimination of major corrosion related maintenance issues and for the advantages it offers in weight savings, replacement costs and life cycle cost benefits.

This presentation focuses on explaining the properties of titanium, the how and the why the metal is so suitably qualified for use in seawater and all water environments, and the advantages that titanium provides in marine service. The discussion will also include comparisons against materials currently being used, where these have or are being replaced, as well as experience and applications for titanium's use - both in industrial service and aboard ship.

The need to resolve corrosion, maintenance and weight issues is obviously apparent and ever ongoing. The use of titanium, in its many forms and with its many benefits, is a real, currently available solution to the corrosion problems in marine service.

Abstract
Over the past fifteen years, the CPI has presented numerous challenges developing new products and processes. This has resulted in increased usage of titanium to meet the ever-increasing corrosion resistant demands. This paper presents an overview of current applications and the most recently developed titanium grades for meeting the corrosion challenges of the New Millennium.
