Urea tube (HR3ELM, UNS S31050, DP28W)

High corrosion resistant alloys for Urea plant (HR3ELM,DP28W)

 

Severe corrosive environments in urea plants demand corrosion resistant materials. Sumitomo developed 2 kinds of corrosion resistant alloys, HR3ELM and DP28W, which meets the demands of urea plants, especially urea stripper, condenser, decomposer and reactor.

HR3ELM has excellent corrosion resistance in urea-carbanate solutions due to extremely low C with 25%Cr, and balanced Ni with Mo lead fully austenitic structure.

DP28W is a super duplex stainless steel containing 28%Cr, which demonstrates corrosion resistance under urea environments as mentioned above. Sensitively on sigma phase precipitation during welding is extremely low compared with general duplex stainless steels. Tensile strength is high, which allows use in urea plants.

 

 

Corrosion properties

DP28W indicates excellent corrosion resistance in boiling Nitric acid solution (ASTM A262, method C) Field service data demonstrates high corrosion resistance of DP28W.
