BrF3 Reation
I have an application that require the use of Bromine Trifluoride at High Temperature High Pressure. 500 F, and 25000 PSI. The application uses a
Copper part where the HTHP causes the copper to cut in half. My question is: What Kind of metal could be used that could withstand more HTHP
with BrF3. could I use something coated with ceramic or thermal insulator, or graphite?
Thank you.

Why not stainless steel 316?
The single most important condition for a successful synthesis is good mixing - Nicodem

BrF3
It prohibits the use of stainless steel since the reaction that takes place prohibit the use of anything that has steel because it reacts with the
chemical.

I suggest inconel then, I'm fairly sure that would take it (it takes 250*C elemental bromine at 150psi).
I guess my question is, what are you using this for!?!!?

So, copper lacks the mechanical strength, that is what bromine triflouride and the exceedingly vicous pentaflouride are produced in. How about the
other metals that are famous for the confinement of the halogens, monel metal and if desperation calls, nickel?

Just what I suggested: inconel is a high strength copper/nickel alloy with a bit more tenacity than plain ol' monel.

Expensive but tantalum might work.

I am sorry guys, I did not reply for a long time, But read ur replies.
I have tried Nickel by itself, it was a disaster. I am affraid that the high
percentage of nickel in inconel would cause the same problem. Can someone suggest an alloy mainly copper but have higher melting point and higher
mechanical properties than copper C110 for example?
Thank you
God Bless

I'm curious how you generate the 25,000 psi.

This is a gas pressure application, through burning of solid propellant.

I'm assuming that you are using 100% Cu that is soft like copper wire
did you try using hard drawn copper, or heat the copper to about 900 C (low red color) and slowly cool in air,
I don't know that the hardness will be sustained in 500 F heat. I think it will be
