Inconel 617

INCONEL alloy 617 is a material that stays true to its name. It is a blend of nickel, chromium, cobalt, and molybdenum, and each of these component elements adding to its impressive specifications or features. While the high levels of both nickel (44.5% minimum) and chromium (20-24%) provides the alloy with a good resistance to … Continue reading Highlighting Some Of The Major Inconel 617 Applications

The study includes evaluation of three major nickel based alloys such as Inconel 617, Incoloy 800 and Hastelloy X to determine their suitability for use in the future nuclear plants that are under design. The various components of nuclear reactors such as control rods, steam generators and heat exchangers are made from the high performance alloys. These … Continue reading Nickel alloys for high temperature heat exchangers in reactors
