Design and Fabrication of Hypochlorite Storage Tanks Using Titanium - This technical white paper explores the design, fabrication, and lifecycle considerations for hypochlorite storage tanks, focusing on the use of titanium as the material of choice. Due to the challenges associated with hypochlorite storage, such as corrosive environments, traditional materials like carbon steel and stainless steel often face reduced lifespans. Titanium provides a durable, corrosion-resistant […]
Best Practice Recommendations for Storing Sodium Hypochlorite in Titanium Storage Tanks - Titanium, grade 2, is an excellent material choice for storage of Sodium Hypochlorite. It is the longest lasting and lowest maintenance solution for storage tanks in this service. There are some key design, fabrication, operation and maintenance considerations to keep in mind to ensure maximum performance and reliability.

Titanium Grade 12 – Alternative Alloy for Cost Reduction & Corrosion Resistance - Titanium Grade 2/2H (UNS R50400) is the workhouse alloy used in the Chemical Processing Industry (CPI) to combat against corrosion and give a long, maintenance-free life. This Grade is essentially pure titanium with a yield strength minimum of 40 ksi and a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 58 ksi for Grade 2H. Click here to […]
Titanium: Available and Affordable Material of Construction for Industrial Applications - When you hear the word ‘titanium’, what do you think? Most people would think aerospace and airplane applications, when it is much more than that. Many also associate the word titanium with ‘expensive’, when in reality, it is actually cost effective. Many would also think ‘unobtainable’, when it is readily available. While a majority of […]
The Use of Titanium for Heat Transfer in the Chemical Processing Industry - The transfer of heat from one fluid to another is an essential component of all chemical processes. Whether it is to cool down a chemical after it has been formed during an exothermic reaction, or to heat-up components before starting a reaction to make a final product, understanding the elements to design an effective, efficient […]
White Paper – Clad Metal Repairs - Clad metal materials are widely used in industrial applications due to their enhanced mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, damage can occur to the cladding due to various factors, necessitating a repair. This whitepaper offers specific guidance based on tests performed in Tricor’s shop by welders experienced in welding of Titanium and executing these types […]
Fabrication Tips to Prevent Crevice Corrosion - Corrosion resistance charts are a great resource to use to find suitable alloys for a given chemical service. However, pay attention to the footnotes and read supporting literature as well, because those corrosion charts are really only reflecting general corrosion with the posted numerical values. One of the other types of corrosion that needs to […]
