IntroductionPhosphoric acid is an important chemical intermediate and is used primarily in fertilizer production. It is;lso used extensively as an intermediate in the production of detergents, water treatment, chemicals and leavening agents.Phosphoric acid is produced by two basic methods: the wet process involving reaction of phosphate rock with an acid (sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric) and the furnace process in which phosphorous is burned with air to produce PzO5 gas which is then hydrated to form phosphoric acid. This report is concerned only with phosphoric acid that is produced by the wet process using sulfuric acid digestion.Extensive corrosion data have been published on the resistance of metals to reagent grade phosphoric acid. In contrast however, only limited test data are available on the resistance of metals in the wet phosphoric acid process. It should be noted that all the published corrosion data were obtained from immersion tests and are not useful in predicting the resistance of metals under heat transfer conditions.Operating experience with chemical process equipment has indicated that the corrosion rates of metals are accelerated when heat is transferred through the metal. For this reason, it is often necessary to fabricate the heating coils of a process reactor from a more corrosion resistant alloy than the walls of the reactor vessel. This accelerated corrosion attack of the coils is attributed to the extreme heating of a thin layer of fluid adjacent to the metal surface. In the case of very high solution temperatures, localized boiling is also responsible for increased corrosion attack.

The article deals with the influence of heat flux on localised forms of corrosion of stainless steels under the conditions of phase transition on a metal surface. The observations focused on the influence of the initiation and propagation of pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Pitting corrosion was tested in the environment of 0.6% FeCl 3 þ 0.3% EDTA þ 0.1% HCl, the susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking was verified in 35% MgCl 2 . The tests proved a negative influence of heat flux on the initiation and propagation of non-uniform corrosion.
