    CORROSION RESISTANCE
    General corrosion
    Sandvik SX has excellent corrosion resistance in concentrated sulfuric acid, both in static and dynamic
    conditions. This is illustrated by the isocorrosion diagram, Figure 1, and by the comparative test data for different
    alloys, Figure 2.

    Sandvik SX has excellent corrosion resistance in high concentrated nitric acid. The material has been tested with good results
    in both 90 and 100% nitric acid. The corrosion properties in nitric acid can be seen in the isocorrosion diagram in Figure 3, and
    in the corrosion rate diagram in Figure 4.

    Pitting and crevice corrosion


    The steel may be sensitive to pitting and crevice corrosion even in solutions of relatively low chloride content.
    Sandvik SX is used in acid coolers with demi-water or chloride containing cooling water. The corrosivity of the
    cooling water needs to be evaluated in every particular case taking different factors, such as metal temperature,
    pH, and chlorination practice into account.

    Stress corrosion and cracking


    Austenitic steels are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). This may occur at temperatures above 60°C
    (140°F) if the steel is subjected to tensile stresses and at the same time comes into contact with certain

    3 SANDVIK SX
    solutions, particularly those containing chlorides. Such service conditions should therefore be avoided.
    Conditions when plants are shut down must also be considered, as the condensates which are then formed can
    develop conditions that lead to both SCC and pitting.

    FORMS OF SUPPLY
    Seamless tube and pipe in Sandvik SX is available in the solution-annealed and white-pickled condition or as
    solution annealed by a bright-annealing process. Solution annealed bar is also available.

    WELDING
    The weldability of Sandvik SX is good. Welding must be carried out without preheating, and normally there is no
    need for any subsequent heat treatment. Suitable method of fusion welding is gas tungsten arc welding
    GTAW/TIG.

    5 SANDVIK SX
    For Sandvik SX, heat-input of <1.0 kJ/mm and interpass temperature of <50°C (120°F) are recommended. A
    string bead welding technique should be used.
