Also used in oil/gas downhole in corrosive environments (primarily CO2/H2S). Typical tubing size is 2-7/8", which is ~10.4 lb/ft x thousands of feet. Not cheap.

  Oh my gosh. I did some downhole work analyzing the corrosion of casing and tubing. It boggles my mind that some wells produce enough to justify that. I should have known - it's "only" 5-10x more in material cost; just belies my typical rule-of-thumb intuition.
