Inconel 625 bar is a heat resistant nickel based superalloy. The high strength of these bars makes them a difficult prospect for machines. Bars of this grade have a machinability rating of 17% and a hardness of 29 HRC.
Compared to Alloy 718, Alloy 625 has higher corrosion resistance in high temperature environments.
Alloy C-276 has excellent resistance to pitting and stress corrosion cracking. It is also one of the few materials that can withstand the corrosive effects of wet chlorine, hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide.
The alloy is forged between 2250/1750oF (1230/955oC) and then soaked at the forging temperature for 30 minutes per inch of billet or ingot section thickness. Forging should begin immediately, the billet is removed from the reheat furnace, a 25/40% reduction helps retain as much internal heat as possible. For optimum corrosion resistance, forged parts should be subsequently annealed. See Heat Treatment.
HASTELLOY(r) C276 can be formed by cold working using conventional techniques.
HASTELLOY(r) C276 is solution heat treated at 1121¡ãC (2050¡ãF) and then rapidly quenched. In the case of forging or hot forming, parts should be solution heat treated prior to use.
Welding of this alloy is similar to that of the C-22 alloy. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) are commonly used to weld C-276 alloys.
It is recommended that the alloy be welded in the solution annealed condition with C-276 filler metal.
Like many other nickel alloys, it is ductile and easy to form and weld. This alloy is used in most industrial environments where corrosive chemical environments exist and other alloys fail.
Nimonic 80 a (Alloy 80A) is one of the most popular superalloys specified for gas turbines. Nimonic 80A fasteners are often specified because of their ability to withstand very high temperatures. This makes Nimonic bolts and nuts ideal for use in aircraft parts and custom-designed gas turbine components, from turbine blade mounting to exhaust nozzles on jet engines, where Nimonic fasteners are exposed to very high levels of pressure and heat.
Monel 400 is resistant to steam and sea water as well as highly corrosive solutions such as sulfuric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids after degassing. It has excellent solderability and can withstand very high pressure and weight. The alloy has excellent mechanical properties at sub-zero temperatures, with a melting point of 2370¡ã – 2460¡ã F, and the product can be used at temperatures up to 1000¡ã C.
Alloy C-276 is one of the most versatile corrosion-resistant alloys available today.
Alloy C276 is a nickel, chromium and molybdenum alloy. Hastelloy C276 is designed for excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance in a variety of environments. These alloys also show resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
Carbon Steel ASTM A105 Flanges Made of carbon or mild steel material. Carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and iron may be included in the material composition.
304 is chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel. Better corrosion resistance than Type 302. High ductility, excellent drawing, forming and spinning properties. Inherently non-magnetic, it becomes slightly magnetic when cold worked. Low carbon content means less precipitation of carbides in the heat affected zone during welding and less susceptibility to intergranular corrosion.
Hastelloy C-276 alloy has excellent resistance to a variety of chemical process environments, including strong oxidizing agents (such as ferric chloride and cupric chloride), hot fouling media (organic and inorganic), chlorine, formic and acetic acid, acetic anhydride, and Seawater and brine solutions.
It can be used in flue gas desulfurization systems due to its excellent resistance to sulfur compounds and chloride ions in most scrubbers.
While 300 series stainless steels are very popular, they are not universally suitable for all process piping applications. For example, even though they are corrosion resistant, 300 series formulations do not perform well in the presence of chlorides. In these cases, steels with much higher alloy contents such as molybdenum, chromium and nickel are preferred.
Type 316 is much more resistant to sulfuric acid solutions than any other chromium-nickel type. Type 316 is resistant to acid concentrations up to 5% at temperatures up to 120¡ãF (49¡ãC). This type has excellent resistance to higher concentrations at temperatures below 100¡ã F (38¡ã C).
In general, the Type 316 grade can be considered equally good in a given environment. A notable exception is intergranular corrosion in the heat-affected zone on welds and susceptible alloys in sufficiently corrosive environments. In such media, Type 316L is more suitable for welding conditions than Type 316 because the low carbon content increases resistance to intergranular corrosion.
Type 316 alloy is considered suitable for some marine environment applications, such as ship rails and hardware, and the exterior walls of buildings near the ocean that are exposed to salt spray. Type 316 stainless steel shows no evidence of corrosion in the 100-hour, 5% salt spray (ASTM-B-117) test.
Sustained or prolonged exposure of Type 316L to 800-1500¡ãF (427-816¡ãC) may be harmful. In addition, stress relief between 100-1500¡ãF (593-816¡ãC) may cause this Type of slight embrittlement.
Austenitic stainless steels are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in halide environments. Although type 316 alloys are more resistant to SCC than 18Cr-8 Ni alloys due to their molybdenum content, they are still susceptible. Conditions that produce SCC are: (1) the presence of halide ions (usually chloride ions), (2) residual tensile stress, and (3) temperatures in excess of about 120¡ãF (49¡ãC).
Fully austenitic welds are more prone to cracking during welding. For this reason, Type 316 and Type 316L “matching” filler metals are formulated to cure with a small amount of ferrite in the microstructure to minimize cracking susceptibility.
Unlike other types of steel such as 304 and 306, the 316l stainless steel alloy can be used in a variety of applications where high corrosion resistance is required. For example, specialists in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries use it to make surgical tools and medical implants.
normalize Normalizing is designed to give steel a uniform and fine-grained structure. This process is used to obtain a predictable microstructure and guarantee of mechanical properties of the steel.
316L stainless steel is an austenitic alloy often referred to as “marine grade stainless steel” because it is used in nearly 90% of marine applications – including filtration. In addition to metals such as iron and nickel, 316L contains 16-18% chromium and 2-3% molybdenum. These elements are important because they improve the alloy’s corrosion resistance; chromium interacts with oxygen in seawater to form a protective layer of chromium oxide, while molybdenum improves the metal’s resistance to pitting corrosion. Additionally, 316L has a lower carbon content (hence the use of “L” in its name), which gives it better protection against corrosion.
Applications and Materials Normalizing is mainly used for normalizing the structure of carbon steel and low alloy steel after forging, hot rolling or casting. The hardness obtained after normalizing depends on the steel dimensional analysis and the cooling rate used (approximately 100-250 HB).
