Nickel Alloy Castings
There is a wide variety of different nickel base alloys to offer reasonable mechanical properties along with either corrosion or high temperature properties.
| Alloy Properties | |
|---|---|
| Representative Alloys | Monel®, Inconel®, Hastelloy®, ILLIUM® G, ILLIUM® 98 |
| Applications | Where maintenance or product purity is important. Well-suited to high temperature conditions |
| Limitations | Difficult for the inexperienced Foundry to produce |
| Typical Uses | Fluid handling systems, chemical processing, fresh and salt water applications |
| Machinability | Good to fair. Lower feeds and speeds generally |
| Weldability | Generally good |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Some grades especially resistant to attack from hydrochloric acid; others to hydrofluoric acid |
