What's a suitable Material of construction for equipment handling hot brine (NaCl) solutions? Temperature is max approx. 100 C.
I'm conflicted if or not SS316 works? I looked up an old handbook and it reported a corrosion rate of 0.2 mm/year (@80 C) which seems not too bad to me. But I've heard others say that SS316 won't work.
Any thoughts?
