Nickel Alloys
Nickel alloys are important engineering materials exhibiting a wide range of outstanding and often unique properties. Columbia Metals ever expanding range of nickel superalloys now consists of 12 of the most popular grades from the widely used nickel-copper grades through to high strength, temperature resistant superalloy grades and nickel-iron controlled expansion alloys.
This variety of nickel grades offer benefits including high strength and toughness, excellent high temperature strength, excellent corrosion resistance for seawater and good resistance in hydrofluoric acid, dilute non-oxidising acid, alkalis and salts.
The nickel chromium alloys such as Alloy 600, 625, 718 and 825 offer various levels of high temperature strength, pitting resistance, corrosion and erosion resistance in a wide range of organic and mineral acids as well as sulphides and chlorides. These properties are utilised for components in chemical processing, offshore oil and gas, nuclear and desulphurisation industries. For more details on individual alloys please click here now.
The Alloy C276 is a higher alloyed nickel chromium molybdenum tungsten grade. The higher alloying elements of Alloy C276, such as its high molybdenum content, give it a remarkable pitting and crevice corrosion resistance in a wide range of processing environments.
Its excellent general corrosion resistance against wet chlorine gas, hypochlorites, oxidising salts and many other aggressive chemicals make it stand out for components in areas such as desulphurisation plant, sewage treatment, sour gas production and organic acid processing.
