Best Fastener Materials for Lightweight Strength - *https://t.co/D4rDLETueC*

[Materials Matter @Extreme_Bolt]

PEEK, PTFE & PVDF are all high temp, corrosion resistant polymers each with their own niche capabilities https://t.co/4ME5ZeiBjr

#Inconel 600 is ideal for corrosive environments, even at 1800F
https://t.co/R2Ftf4D56D

[Materials Matter @Extreme_Bolt]

What material has the strength of 17-4PH, PLUS corrosion resistance...#Inconel 718 and #Incoloy 925.... https://t.co/G89t0BzijK

Titanium is often used in situations like this to provide bolt strength and lightness of weight as it is 4x stronger than 316 at 1/2 the weight. https://t.co/nrbL6WNG0y

Both #PEEK polymer & #Alumina ceramics provide excellent electric insulation - choice depends on other traits like yield and temperature
https://t.co/eMxLe6S3Ox

[Materials Matter @Extreme_Bolt]

#Ceramics like #zirconia are excellent electric insulators, but #polymers like #PEEK can be better in that they are not as brittle and offer yield strength that ceramics do not.

Swam with a grouper bigger than me there on vaca 1998! But to get there you need materials like #titanium to protect boats from salt water corrosion - in rough & stagnant water.

Explorers have reached the bottom of the Great Blue Hole. The team mapped out the depths of the 407-foot-deep hole using sound waves and found new mineral icicles, dead mollusks and plastic bottles. Rewatch "Into the Blue Hole" on @Discovery https://t.co/3bVdO2YFWt

In August of 2000, the 30-inch diameter El Paso Natural Gas Company #pipeline exploded in New Mexico resulting in 12 deaths and millions of dollars in damages. Proper corrosion protection and inspection could have prevented this disaster. https://t.co/VlEbheuYLQ #infographic

If there was an "survival of the fittest alloy" Darwin would chose #Hastelloy - resistant to #HCl and #H2SO4 and strong to 1500F #DarwinDay

#Inconel 600 will actually retain its strength at high temperatures of 2000F better than either #Alloy 330 or 310SS can
https://t.co/GYWUVLZp7N

[Materials Matter @Extreme_Bolt]

When it comes to oxidizing chemicals, #Hastelloy #C22 offer better resistance than sister #alloy C276 due to its higher chromium content.
https://t.co/BBYBrbI9jv

[Materials Matter @Extreme_Bolt]

#Alloy 330 is often used in furnace applications for its ability to handle cyclic temperatures swings, with a max usable temp of 2100°F

#Ceramics like Alumina are practically inert to high concentration #acid #corrosion, and are usable to 3000F but lack in strength - with 0 yield https://t.co/SM2c1psLkr
