Abstract
This paper presents some results of alloy development work over
the last 5 years within Hydro Aluminium for heat exchanger
applications. Main focus is on properties of Hydro Long-Life tube
alloys, now in use in both Europe and the US.
The principle of obtaining the good corrosion resistance of
these alloys is presented. Additionally, the importance of
selecting appropriate combination of the various material members
in a Heat Exchanger, for increased corrosion durability, is
emphasized and presented through a Hydro- developed Corrosion
Design software (the CoDe model).
