Nickel-Based Specialty Alloys
Nickel-based specialty alloys are engineered for demanding environments where conventional materials may not provide the required combination of mechanical strength, thermal stability and resistance to oxidation or corrosive media.
Our portfolio covers Inconel®, Hastelloy® and Rene® series, addressing different performance requirements ranging from elevated-temperature structural applications to highly corrosive chemical environments. The specific properties of each alloy depend on its composition, strengthening mechanism, heat treatment and service conditions.
Inconel® alloys include nickel-chromium and nickel-chromium-iron systems developed for combinations of strength, corrosion resistance and elevated-temperature performance. For example, INCONEL® 625 is recognized for its combination of strength, fabricability and corrosion resistance, while INCONEL® 718 is a precipitation-strengthened alloy widely used where high strength and fatigue/creep performance are required.
Hastelloy® alloys are primarily designed for demanding corrosion environments. Depending on grade, they offer resistance to localized corrosion, stress-corrosion cracking and aggressive chemical media, making them particularly relevant to chemical-processing and other corrosive-service applications.
Rene® alloys are nickel-based high-temperature alloys developed for demanding aerospace and high-temperature applications. René 41, for example, combines precipitation strengthening with solid-solution strengthening and is used for high-temperature aerospace hardware.
