Corrosion Resistant Alloy
A broad category of metallic alloys specifically engineered to resist degradation in corrosive environments, including stainless steels, nickel alloys, and titanium alloys.
CRA Overview
Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRAs) are used when carbon steel cannot provide adequate service life. The selection depends on the specific corrosive environment, temperature, pressure, and required service life.
