ILLIUM B castings

Description (English)

ILLIUM B is supplied as castings in the 2100°F air-cooled condition, delivering yield strength of 400 MPa, tensile strength of 414 MPa, elongation of 1%, and hardness of 221-420 HB. The low elongation (1%) and high hardness range indicate that the alloy is a hard, wear-resistant material suitable for cast components subject to erosion-corrosion. ILLIUM B is widely used in chemical processing for handling hot sulfuric acid, hot phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and mixed oxidizing acid solutions.
