Acid-resistant steel for demanding environments

Acid-resistant steel is intended for applications requiring enhanced resistance to aggressive chemicals, moisture and variable working conditions. We select the grade and product form to match the specifics of your project.

Material selection

Material matched to
the medium and working conditions.

Acid-resistant steel is used where the material operates in contact with aggressive media, high humidity or environments with an increased risk of corrosion. Grade selection should always take actual operating conditions into account.

The term “acid-resistant” does not mean resistance to every chemical medium. The key factors are the type of substance, its concentration, temperature, contact time and the presence of salts and chlorides.

Worth specifying 01 / 03
01

Type and concentration of the medium

Provide the substance name, its concentration and the nature of contact with the material surface.

02

Operating temperature

Increased temperature can raise the aggressiveness of the environment and affect the required steel grade.

03

Chlorides and operating conditions

The presence of salts, chlorides and structural crevices is significant when assessing material resistance.

Available forms

Material in a form
ready for application.

We offer acid-resistant products for industrial, installation and manufacturing applications. We help you select the form, dimensions and material grade to match the specifics of your project.

Selection based on working conditions

If your project requires enhanced resistance to a specific medium, we will prepare a grade proposal after analysing the operating conditions.

  • Type and concentration of the medium
  • Temperature and contact time
  • Project requirements and availability
Consult selection

The information is indicative. Grade selection should be confirmed for the specific medium, concentration, temperature, working conditions and project requirements.

Order fulfilment

Material confirmed
for the intended application.

In your enquiry, specify the grade, product form, dimensions, quantity and details of the medium and working conditions. This will allow us to check availability and prepare an offer tailored to your project requirements.

01

Medium and working conditions

Specify the type of substance, its concentration, temperature and the manner of contact with the material.

02

Form, dimensions and quantity

Provide the required product form, dimensions, quantity and any processing requirements.

03

Material documentation

If your project requires a mill certificate or quality documents, indicate this in your request for quotation.
