Dear Sir,
More hardness of the fin is required because it is used in heat
recovery of exhaust gases having abrasive particles in it.
The temperature might be around 450 deg. C and particles are abrasive
eroding the fin surface.
Please reply if you have some solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Priyanka Deshmukh
