My company utilizes 304 SS and 316 SS for several fabricated items that serve one of our water treatment systems. These materials serve us well however when the water is chlorinated with either chlorine gas or hypochlorite prior to entering our system we see corrosion of the metal.
What I'm looking for is a material that can be utilized in these environments that can withstand the chlorine vapors that emanate from the water. The material will need should not be exorbitant in cost in relation to 304 or 316 and I will also need a material that is used to produce hardware such as handles, hinges, nuts, bots, etc.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this message and for any input that you may have regarding my questions.
