A plate heat exchanger uses a metal plate to transfer heat between two fluids. Pipes or other types of vessels are generally used to transfer heat between the two fluids. The plates used can be made of aluminum, cast iron, bronze, copper or stainless steel. The best metal to use for such plates is made of steel as it offers multiple benefits. It has been found that the biggest problem which the heat exchanger manufacturers used to face was the corrosive nature of the metals. Among the wide variety of metal options available, steel is the most useful one because it is anti-corrosive nature.
