🔍 Key Concepts

• Material selection for seawater heat exchangers • Corrosion resistance and galvanic compatibility in contact with seawater and brine • Mechanical properties needed for thin plate-type heat exchangers

💭 Think About

• Which of these materials would best resist long-term corrosion while continually exposed to hot seawater and brine inside a distilling/evaporating unit? • For thin, closely packed plates, which material can be made very thin yet still strong and elastic enough to withstand pressure and thermal cycling? • Which options are more commonly used only as sacrificial anodes or coatings rather than as the primary structural material of heat‑transfer plates?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any material normally used as a sacrificial anode rather than a structural plate • Consider which materials from the list are too brittle or too soft for thin, high-pressure heat‑transfer plates • Think about which material is known to be used in plate-type freshwater generators/evaporators for seawater service
