Material Selection For Corrosion Prevention

Material Selection For Corrosion Prevention

Material Selection

Choosing the correct material for a fitting or valve is critical for engineers and metallurgists around the world. There are some key considerations for material selection, including suitability to the application use and environment.

Selecting a material that provides a solution for a high temperature or pressured surroundings is key to ensuring safety and efficiency.

selection of special metals for corrosion prevention.

Material Selection For Corrosion Prevention

Many of the environments that are considered ‘extreme’, require a careful material solution, rather than staying with our standard 316 stainless steel.

As much as our stainless steel material is extremely high quality, it may not be suitable for some areas where corrosion is a concern.

Corrosion Resistant Alloys

With so many types of corrosion present in our customer’s industries, material selection advice based on effectiveness is offered by Waverely Brownall.

Information on the types of corrosion and each materials strengths and weaknesses can be found on our special metals page.

Titanium Used On Juno SpaceCraft

Titanium Used On Juno SpaceCraft

The spin-stabilised spacecraft Juno has been built with the mighty task to orbit planet Jupiter.

NASA have issued fantastic information reagrding the spacecraft and its travel – including the ability to track Juno’s position using their website. ​

Launched near 5 years ago, we’re right on time as Juno enters orbit around Jupiter.

Titanium And The One Giant Leap For Mankind

This alloy has long been known for its incredible strength.

juno spacecraft jupiter

It provides fantastic resistance to challenges on our planet – such as seawater corrosion.

However, one area we rarely hear about is its durability on spacecraft structures.

Titanium has high strength compared to its weight, but this isn’t the only reason why it is used so often in the aerospace industry.

​The Properties Of Titanium

This metal has the ability to withstand some very high temperatures. As you can imagine, in space, it is essential for materials ​to withstand incredible atmospheric pressures. Although Juno won’t face the same temperature problems as low-Earth orbiting crafts and satellites will, it will be experiencing a lack of sun radiation.

At the centre of Juno, sits the vehicle’s electronics vault that protects the precious electrical set-up from the harsh environment surrounding it. ​Juno will need to endure not only cruising through deep-space, but it will need to endure flying through Jupiter’s intense radiation belts.

Juno’s radiation vault is made of titanium alloy with a thickness of one centimeter.​

The top deck of Juno is planned to receive a radiation dose of 22 Mrad, showing the amazing shielding capability of the vault.
