Note: Amar offers all the internal & optionally external wetted pats in the same material of construction as that of body & head to give fully corrosion resistant autoclaves.
Material Selection Guide: AMAR gives recommendation for material selection for particular media, however it does not guarantee 100% corrosion resistance of a particular material to a particular corrosive media, as the same depends on various parameters like temperature, pressure, concentration, etc. of the reactions. Reactor vessels of material SS316, above 5 ltr are normally fabricated from plates. SS 316 autoclaves up to 100 ltr have lids made from rolled / forged bar stock. The material listed below may not be available in all possible sizes.
SS316 is an alloy of chromium – nickel with molybdenum which improves the corrosion resistance properties. The molybdenum in the material also elevates its strength. SS 316 / 316L both have almost the same corrosion resistance properties, the only difference is SS 316L has a low carbon stainless steel content.
SS 316 / 316L has excellent corrosion resistance to:
SS316 / 316L has poor resistance to:
Applications of SS 316 / 316L is mainly in chemical & petrochemical industry, food processing, pharmaceutical equipment, & also in marine & architectural applications.

Hastelloy B is an alloy comprised of nickel & molybdenum & offers excellent corrosion resistance to solutions of hydrochloric, sulfuric & phosphoric acid in all concentrations & at all temperatures in the absence of oxidizing agents. Hastelloy B2 is suited for the majority of chemical process applications in the as-welded condition because it resists the production of grain boundary carbide precipitates in the weld heat-affected zone. To provide homogeneous corrosion resistance, the precipitation of carbides and other phases has been decreased in the heat-affected weld zones.
Additionally, Alloy B2 has outstanding resistance to stress corrosion cracking and pitting. A nickel-molybdenum alloy called Hastelloy B2 is especially well suited for equipment handling decreasing chemical conditions.
