  Austenitic alloy –  Alloy 20  is based on nickel, iron, and chromium and has high corrosion resistance in settings including sulfuric acid and other hostile fluids. This alloy is stabilized with niobium to stop intergranular corrosion. When carefully compared to higher nickel-based alloys, Alloy 20 may offer possible cost savings while outperforming regular stainless steels. Alloy 20 Chemical Composition: Element Content (%) Iron, Fe 35 Nickel, Ni 32-38 Chromium, Cr 19-21 Copper, Cu 3-4 Manganese, Mn ≤2 Molybdenum, Mo 2-3 Niobium, Nb ≤1 Silicon, Si ≤1 Carbon, C ≤0.07 Phosphorous, P ≤0.045 Sulfur, S ≤0.035 Alloy 20 Physical Properties: Properties Metric Imperial Density 8.05 g/cm3 0.291 lb/in3 Alloy 20 Mechanical Properties: Properties Metric Imperial Tensile strength (annealed) 620 MPa 89900 psi Yield strength (annealed) 300 MPa 43500 psi Elongation at break (annealed) 41% 41% Nickel Alloy 20 Thermal Properties: Properties Metric Imperial Thermal expansion co-efficient (@20-100°C/68-

Brass Pipes: Advantages and Disadvantages

  5 Advantages of Brass Pipes Brass Pipes Durability: Brass pipes  offer an unparalleled advantage in terms of durability. Composed of an exceptionally strong metal, brass can withstand the ravages of corrosion, rust, and various environmental factors for extended periods without necessitating replacement or repair. Remarkably, it demands no specialized maintenance or care to retain its optimal condition. This characteristic renders it an exceptional choice for plumbing endeavors requiring longevity without the need for recurrent maintenance or repairs. Brass Pipes Are Easy to Install: Brass presents a visually pleasing aesthetic compared to alternative metals such as  copper  or steel. Its golden hue adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space or structure employing brass piping applications. Consequently, it emerges as the ideal selection for diverse settings, including residential homes, commercial edifices, and projects where aesthetics play a pivotal role. Brass Pipes
