WHY SELECT THIS MATERIAL

Material Characteristics

Inconel is a family of nickel-based alloys designed for demanding combinations of temperature resistance, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. Final selection should be based on the actual operating environment and the requirements of the applicable material standard.

01

Corrosion Resistance

Performance is grade-specific and can be tailored to oxidizing, reducing, chloride or chemical service conditions.

02

Temperature Capability

Selected grades retain useful mechanical or corrosion-resistant performance at elevated service temperatures.

03

Specification Controlled

Chemistry, heat treatment and mechanical requirements should be checked against the exact grade and product standard.

04

Engineering Selection

Material suitability depends on pressure, temperature, corrosion mechanism, fastener loading and fabrication condition.
