A: UNS S44800, with 28.0-30.0% chromium and 3.5-4.2% molybdenum, offers superior corrosion resistance (PREN ~37.0-41.5) compared to sa240/a240 uns s44400 (PREN ~20.5-24.5). Its low carbon (≤ 0.010%) enhances weldability, making it ideal for extreme environments like seawater desalination, while UNS S44400 suits milder chemical processing applications due to lower alloy content and cost.

Q: Is UNS S44800 suitable for seawater desalination, and how does it compare to UNS S41003?

A: Yes, sa240/a240 uns s44800 is highly suitable for seawater desalination due to its unparalleled corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability up to 1050°C (1922°F). Compared to sa240/a240 uns s41003, with lower chromium (10.5-12.5%) and no molybdenum, UNS S44800 offers significantly better corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh environments, while UNS S41003 is better for structural applications.

Q: What is the price difference between UNS S44800 and UNS S44700, and what drives this difference?

 

A: UNS S44800 is priced at USD 5.5-8 per kg (FOB), slightly higher than sa240/a240 uns s44700 (USD 5-7.5 per kg) due to stricter manufacturing controls and potential additional alloying elements.
