Metal
Inconel & Nickel Alloys
For hot, corrosive and highly loaded environments where common stainless steels reach their limit.
01 · QUICK ANSWER
When should you choose Nickel alloys?
Inconel 625 emphasizes corrosion and weldability; 718 adds precipitation-hardened strength. Monel is useful in marine and chemical service, while Invar controls thermal expansion.
