May be used where dampness, alone or coupled with chemical pollution, causes steel to fail quickly.
502/501(F5)
4-6% Chromium and 1/2% Molybdenum alloyed for mild corrosive resistance and elevated service. Maximum working temperature is 1200º F.
If severe corrosion is anticipated, a better grade of stainless steel would probably be a better choice. Becomes extremely hard when welded.

Maximum temperature range of 1400º F -1500º F.
Developed specifically for applications requiring resistance to corrosion by sulfuric acid.
Brinell hardness is about 160.
Aluminum
Alloy 110 is commercially pure (99% minimum).
Its excellent resistance and workability makes it ideal for double jacketed gaskets.
For solid gaskets, stronger alloys like 5052 and 3003 are used.
Maximum continuous service temperature of 800º F.
Brass
Yellow brass 268 has 66% Copper and 34% Zinc.
Offers excellent to good corrosion resistance in moist environments, but is not suitable for such materials as acetic acid, acetylene, ammonia, and salt. Maximum recommended temperature limit of 500 F.
