Abstract
AbstractNon‐ferrous metals in construction of equipment and plant. The use of copper, copper/nickel alloys, highly corrosion resistant NiMo alloys, titanium, zirconium, and tantalum is described with the aid of examples. Brief mention is also made of the corrosion‐resistance of the above materials of construction. It is shown that a plate design of pressure vessels has economic and technical advantages over a solid design. Properties and working of plated composite materials are considered. An account of the lining of large‐scale chemical reactors with copper‐plated sheets is also provided with actual examples. The quality of production of tube mountings is described in the case of titanium heat exchangers, paying particular attention to drift attrition behaviour, reduction of wall thickness, and tube welding procedures. Tube fixing in heat exchangers made of NiMo28 is briefly mentioned.
