Q: I have a salt water environment with high velocities and a lot of debris including sand, dirt and particles. Because of the amount of debris, I’m concerned about what material would work best.
A: Both Monel and Titanium can be good choices in this situation. Both perform extremely well in rapidly moving seawater. Titanium has an edge in performance if you have stagnant water but Monel may do better in high velocity erosive conditions. Generally speaking both Titanium and Monel will perform very well in high velocity salt water with sand and dirt.
