Material Selection in Chemical Plant and Apparatus Engineering

06.05.2025
Damage caused by corrosion has an immense impact, especially in the field of chemical apparatus and plant engineering. In addition to the direct costs, which can quickly amount to several per cent of the turnover, downtimes of plants and considerable safety risks arise. Optimising the choice of materials is therefore the key to preventing corrosion damage. (German-speaking event)
