Nickel
A range of high-performance nickel-based alloys is available to meet the demands of high-temperature and corrosive environments. HX offers exceptional resistance in corrosive, high-temperature applications with its high chromium, molybdenum, and iron content. IN625 is ideal for aircraft engine components below 650°C, providing strength through precipitation hardening with added chromium, molybdenum, and niobium. IN718 excels at up to 700°C, offering superb tensile and fatigue strength for aircraft engines and turbines. K-500 combines nickel-copper alloying for excellent corrosion resistance and high strength in challenging environments.
