Stainless steel in hydrometallurgical processes

In this Corrosion Academy webinar, Mikko Palosaari—Senior Application Development Manager at Outokumpu—shares his corrosion expertise on stainless steel selection for hydrometallurgical processes. The session begins with an overview of common hydrometallurgical process steps used for metals like copper and zinc, along with insights into future battery recycling technologies. The main focus is on material selection for process equipment operating in corrosive leaching environments, including considerations for erosion and erosion-corrosion resistance. Mikko also discusses implications for structural design and introduces suitable stainless steel grades for these demanding applications.

Join Mikko in this expert-led corrosion webinar to build your corrosion knowledge and explore material solutions for the evolving hydrometallurgical industry.
