WHAT IS INCONEL? Inconel is a great example of a high-performance metal specifically formulated for some of the most rigorous applications. Since it is often more expensive and less widely used, Inconel is generally less familiar than steel or aluminum. This article will provide some basics about Inconel and provid...

The ultra-low carbon Ni-Cr-Mo system with Cr and Mo as main alloying elements is also called Hastelloy system. Hastelloy is a trademark of Haynes International, Inc., consisting of HA in HAYNES, STELL in STEI.LITE and OY in ALLOYS. Hastelloy, as an advanced nickel-based alloy, has excellent corrosion resistance to a variety of harsh corrosive environments, such as wet oxygen, sulfurous acid, and s...

The Ni-Cr-Fe system has a lower Fe content as an Inconel alloy, and a higher Fe content has an Incoloy alloy. Incoloy alloys are actually Fe-Ni-Cr alloys in nickel-based alloys because of their Fe content up to 45%. The casting alloy of Inconel alloy is CY240, and the grade of rolled material is Ineonel 600. Ineoloy alloy rolled grade is Incoloy 800 alloy. In the current corrosion-resistant nickel...

Ni and Cu can be mixed in any ratio to form a solid solution alloy, which is called Monel alloy. Ni-Cu has good resistance to HF, seawater brine and crevice corrosion. Monel alloy Ni70Cu30 is the earliest nickel-based corrosion resistant alloy. It has both high strength and toughness, and excellent resistance to corrosion by reducing acids and strong alkaline media and seawater.It is usually used ...
