Download PDF (opens in new tab)

This paper examines the corrosion performance of a wide range of alloys in a solution of HNO3-HF, for use in parts of a nuclear fuel processing facility.

Although the application is specific, the comparison is a useful one. Ferralium® performs well, comparable with a number of significantly more expensive nickel alloys.
