Abstract

Main factors affecting the corrosivity of water in water treatment plants and water towers and other storage facilities, observed types of corrosion degradation of stainless steel and the effect of manufacturing and surface treatment on their corrosion resistance are discussed. A list of stainless steel grades currently used in the field of treatment, transport and storage of drinking water is given together with some other suitable ones. Based on literature resources, optimal stainless steel grades are recommended as a function of water composition and treatment method.
