The history and properties of Z100 superduplex stainless steel are discussed. The corrosion resistance in sulphuric acid is compared with some other common alloys. Four case histories are presented that show the use of Z100 over a range of acid concentrations and temperatures. Most of the applications have been both cost effective and successful. Such problems as have occurred have highlighted the importance of understanding the high influence of minor constituents in the environment in so far as their oxidising nature is concerned and working within the limits of the alloy.
