inconel-alloys

Inconel is a family of austenitic nickel-chromium-based superalloys. These alloys are oxidation- and corrosion-resistant materials well suited for service in extreme environments subjected to pressure and heat. When heated, it forms a thick, stable, passivating oxide layer protecting the surface from further attack. This material retains strength over a wide temperature range, attractive for high […]

Countless types of metals and alloys are used in metalworking. Due to the high number of choices, deciding which type of material to use for your next project can sometimes feel overwhelming and confusing. Today, we will explain the benefits of Inconel alloys to help you figure out which alloy is best suited for your […]

Corrosion is one of the biggest and most common problems faced by industries using forged materials. To avoid this concern, manufacturers ventured into using Inconel alloys. It turned out to be useful and effective. Hence, Inconel alloys are still widely used by forging industries to produce quality and oxidation-resistant end products. Inconel® Properties and Applications […]

The forging industry has come a long way from using inefficient processes and antiquated applications. Today, we see forging engineering in various industries including machinery, construction, automotive, agricultural, oilfield equipment, and so much more. Although there are numerous options for metal deformation using the forging concept, the most widely-applied processes are closed and Open Die […]

As the trade name for a group of more than 20 metal alloys, Inconel is one of the most popular raw materials in the metalworking industry. Due to their prevalence, it might be useful to know a thing or two about this type of metal. Keep reading for 5 helpful facts about Inconel alloys! 5 […]

With all the different applications that metal is used, different characteristics are needed for each use. The wide array of metals available to be manufactured into the component or part needed for a project allows companies to get the metal that has all of their specifications in order to serve their purpose in the most […]

In today’s manufacturing industry, the use of metal alloys is as prevalent as ever. The whole metals of old have been replaced with metal “blends”. An example of this is Inconel. Let’s take a look at what you need to know about this type of alloy and where you can find it for your next […]

Do you know what type of alloy is known to have oxidation – and corrosion-resistant materials? Inconel, a brand name for specific nickel-chromium alloys, is well-suited for service in extreme environments subjected to pressure and heat. It is often used by industries that use forged materials exposed to extreme heat because of this capability. However, […]

Inconel is a material that has been specifically developed for some of the harshest industrial applications. Inconel has a far higher temperature tolerance than stainless steel and retains its tensile strength better than other steel types. Inconel, on the other hand, is a costly material that should only be used in situations where other materials will […]

Inconel alloys can preserve structural integrity in high temperature environments and are resistant to oxidation. Numerous Inconel alloys are utilized in applications that call for materials with characteristics that are resistant to corrosion brought on by highly pure water, caustic corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking. Even though each Inconel variant has distinct characteristics that make it […]
