While it is a very useful metal, it is cost prohibitive in most applications. Monel 400 costs 5 to 10 times as much as regular nickel or copper.
Inconel is a superalloy made with high concentrations of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum.
The Inconel 625 is highly resistant against corrosion and oxidations mediums in various environments.
These alloys possess superior ductility and excellent formability.
They can be welded easily and resist post-weld carburization or graining.
The Inconel 625 material used in producing the products in this grade possesses superior strength and hardness.
They have a minimum tensile strength of 120Ksi and minimum yield strength of 60ksi.
Apart from this, they can be easily elongated by 30% and still possess excellent workability.
These alloys are widely used in chemical processing, pollution control, evaporator, nuclear reactors, marine industries, and so on.
The Inconel Alloy 625 is immune against chloride stress cracking.
These alloys can suffice in high pressures and extreme temperatures.
They can be either cold or hot rolled in different shapes to suit various applications.
INCONEL nickel-chromium alloy 625 (UNS N06625/W.Nr. 2.4856) is used for its high strength, excellent fabricability (including joining), and outstanding corrosion resistance.
Alloy 625 (UNS N06625) is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with an addition of niobium.
The alloy resists a wide range of corrosive environments and has a good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. IN625 has good corrosion resistance in various corrosive environments.
Incoloy 800 may be also used for applications such as wet scrubbing, and the reactive atmospheres of furnaces as well as in industries like nuclear fuel.
Inconel 800, whose chemistry forms over 50% of nickel is known to be more expensive than the former.
Nickel is a costly commodity, which is why its use in an alloy elevates its cost.
Inconel 800 forms a thick yet stable oxide layer. This thick layer is known to protect the outer surface of the Inconel 800 component from further attack.
This phenomenon is the reason why manufacturers recommend using Inconel 800 for extreme temperature and high pressure applications.
Typical applications of Inconel 800 include the food and beverage industry, in addition to being used for heat treatment components.
Due to its high strength and stiffness properties, Inconel 800 is an alloy that is ideal for demanding applications including the marine engineering, aerospace, and chemical processing industries.
INCOLOY alloy 800 (UNS N08800, W. Nr. 1.4876) is a widely used material for construction of equipment requiring corrosion resistance, heat resistance, strength, and stability for service up to 1500¡ãF (816¡ãC).
Alloy 800 offers general corrosion resistance to many aqueous media and, by virtue of its content of nickel, resists stress corrosion cracking.
At elevated temperatures it offers resistance to oxidation, carburization, and sulfidation along with rupture and creep strength.
For applications requiring greater resistance to stress rupture and creep, especially at temperatures above 1500¡ãF (816¡ãC), INCOLOY alloys 800H and 800HT are used.
The emphasis of this alloy is placed on the fact that it is more resistant to aggressive forms of corrosion. In particular, Incoloy 800 shows very high resistance to corrosive compounds seen in aqueous environments.
INCOLOY alloy 800 is used in a variety of applications involving exposure to corrosive environments and high temperatures.
The inclusion of chromium in combination with nickel in its chemistry makes it resilient to chemical and environmental corrosion.
The alloy also exhibits resistance to physical deterioration, e.g. – surface pitting and cracking.
