Fe-Ni alloys containing nickel concentration minimum 35 percent exhibit an exclusive low thermal expansion coefficient and their size is almost constant at and around room temperature. Hence they are known as INVAR alloys. They describe anomalous magnetic properties, for instance, deviation of magnetization from the Slater Pauling curve by reducing the count of electrons in … Continue reading Invar Iron-Nickel Low expansion alloy properties and uses

Recuperation improves the efficiency of gas turbine engines by releasing heat from the exhaust gas stream and pre-heat the compressor to ejaculate air. The elevated temperature oxidation and creeping attacks are key problems that are driving the use of heat resistant alloys in the recuperator panels. Many modern recuperators are made of austenitic stainless steel … Continue reading Advanced Alloy 625 in primary surface recuperator of gas turbine engines

Nickel The industrial demand for nickel and its alloys keeps increasing at the wide rate irrespective of its high price in the recent time. It is because of enduring need of metals that provide extensive corrosion resistance in the severe chemical media and stress. The equipments are developed using these metals that offer prolong life … Continue reading Industrial Specialty Nickel Alloys

Dry gaseous chlorine at mild temperature is not extremely corrosive and can be handled using carbon steel. Dry hydrogen chloride acts in the similar manner. But the powerful hydrochloric acid is deleterious to steel. Corrosion Corrosion is a very complicated mechanism. Apparently unnecessary factors like nominal presence of humidity, contaminants or the metal chlorides can … Continue reading Performance of Nickel and Nickel Alloys in chloride conditions

The nickel based alloys are used in the wider range of applications as corrosion resistant alloys, resistance heating elements, controlled expansion alloys and elevated temperature creep resistant alloys. Days are gone when the emphasis was on the initial cost of the material. Only little concern was given to the maintenance and downtime related with the … Continue reading Nickel and High Nickel Alloys Welding Metallurgy

The high performance stainless steels are those steel types that are manufactured for providing better corrosion resistance in the severe conditions as compare to traditional steel type 304l that consists of 18 percent chromium (Cr), 8 percent nickel (Ni) and steel type 316l that consists of similar content of Cr and Ni with 2 percent … Continue reading High Functionality Stainless Steels

Nr – 2.4665, 2.4613 and enlisted in NACE MR – 01 – 75. Its forms are made in specifications – ASTM B435, AMS 5536, ISO … Continue reading Hastelloy X Alloy- Complete Guide

Environmentally assisted cracking or EAC refers to the attacks including stress corrosion cracking (SCC), hydrogen embrittlement (HE), sulfide stress cracking (SSC), liquid metal embrittlement (LME) and corrosion fatigue (CF). Under EAC, generally a ductile metal looses its hardness when mechanical load is applied in presence of a specific corroding media. The simultaneous presence of three … Continue reading Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy Hastelloy C-2000 specialty among nickel alloys
