Improve corrosion resistance
with Silcolloy (Silcosteel
®
-CR)
In addition to rapidwet-up anddry-
down, the other key advantage of
SilcoTek treatment for 316L stainless
steel is adramatic improvement in
corrosion resistance. The amorphous
silicon layer is insoluble inmany acidic
environments encountered in industry.
Figures3, 4, and5brie+ysummarize
the results of corrosion testingby
ASTMmethods. Comparisons
between treated anduntreated test
samples illustrate the improvements
in corrosion resistance offeredby
Silcolloy
®
1000 treatment. Formore in-

In chloride environments,
Silcolloy 1000 treated stainless steel
outperforms untreatedmetal by anorder of
magnitude (ASTMG 48,MethodB).
Figure 5
Silcolloy1000 treated 316L stainless
steel coupons showno crevice corrosion and
only slight pitting corrosion after 72-hour
exposure to ferric chloride; untreated coupons
exhibit severe crevice corrosion.

Silcolloy 1000 treated316L stainless
steel coupons show no signof attack
after 4000-hour salt spray exposure,
per ASTMB117.

Summary
Whenmoisture considerations and
corrosionconcernsarise in transfer
of ultra-highpurity gas streams,
SilcoTek treated tubing and system
componentswill dramatically improve
dry-down, reduce contamination
frommoisture carryover, and extend
