Nickel Chromium Alloys

December 28, 2011

Chromium is an important alloying element for many corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant nickel based alloys. It has a high solid solubility at approximately 30% Cr, at room temperature, in nickel.  Inconel 600 i... Read More...

Pure Nickel

December 28, 2011

Commercially pure nickel is actually about 99,5% Ni + Cobalt. This metal has good mechanical properties and excellent resistance to many corrosive environments. The alloy retains much of its strength at elevated temperature and... Read More...

Nickel Alloys

December 28, 2011

The name "Nickel" originated in Germany. The copper ores being mined seemed to be contaminated and could not be reduced into workable copper. They attributed this to the power of "Old Nick". The contaminated ores came to be ... Read More...

Inconel 706 superalloy spatial arrangement

November 8, 2011

Modification of the Inconel 706 superalloy by Re-addition was found to be an ineffective approach to improve the mechanical properties and to stabilize the microstructure during service at elevated temperature. It is assumed that... Read More...

Investigation of electron-beam welding in wrought Inconel 706

November 8, 2011

Electron-beam welding (EBW) is commonly employed in the aeroengine industry for the welding of high integrity components, fabricated from high-strength superalloys. For such applications, it is important to predict distorti... Read More...

Alloying Additions – Manganese Replacing Nickel

July 27, 2011

The point of the alloying elements is that they achieve certain changes to the corrosion resistance or to the microstructure (which in turn influences the mechanical and fabrication properties). Chromium is used to achieve corro... Read More...

The Cost of Nickel and Its Addition to Stainless Steel

July 27, 2011

The cost of the common stainless steel is substantially determined by the cost of ingredients. The cost of the chromium that is the essential "stainless ingredient" is not high, but additions of elements that improve the corrosio... Read More...

Low Nickel Austenitic Stainless Steels

July 27, 2011

The most common grades of stainless steel are 304 and 316, which are particularly popular because their austenitic microstructure results in an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, mechanical and physical properties and... Read More...
