Potential Performance Risk Detected
Based on the search/application context, the current material choice may have insufficient safety margin. This demonstrates FABIE's rule-based AI matching (Scenario #11).
Severity: HIGH
Application: Exhaust
Operating Temp: 1500°F
Material Comparison
| Current | Recommended Upgrade | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | 321 Stainless Steel | Inconel 600 |
| Max Service Temp | 1500°F (0°F margin) | 2150°F (+650°F margin) |
| Oxidation Resistance | Moderate | Excellent |
| Estimated Service Life | ~3 years | ~7.5 years |
| Cost per lb (est.) | $9.80 | $17.50 |
Why this matters: Operating at or near maximum temperature rating leaves zero safety margin. At 1500°F continuous operation, 321 SS will experience accelerated oxidation and potential creep failure.
