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
