Overview
Nickel alloy flanges are used in industries that require resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, and mechanical stress. These flanges are made from nickel-based alloys, which offer superior strength, durability, and chemical resistance compared to standard carbon steel flanges. Some common nickel alloy materials used for flanges include:
Nickel 200/201: These are commercially pure nickel alloys that offer excellent corrosion resistance in various environments. They are commonly used in chemical processing, marine applications, and caustic alkali handling.
Inconel alloys: Inconel is a group of nickel-chromium-based alloys that are highly resistant to oxidation, high temperatures, and corrosion. Inconel 600, 625, and 718 are popular choices for flanges in applications such as aerospace, power generation, chemical processing, and oil and gas industries.
Hastelloy alloys: Hastelloy is a family of nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys that provide exceptional resistance to corrosion, pitting, and stress corrosion cracking. Hastelloy C276 and C22 are commonly used for flanges in chemical processing, petrochemical, and oil and gas industries.
Monel alloys: Monel is a group of nickel-copper alloys known for their excellent resistance to corrosion, especially in acidic and corrosive environments. Monel 400 and K500 are widely used for flanges in marine, chemical, and petrochemical industries.
Nickel alloy flanges are suitable for a wide range of applications where resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, and mechanical stress is critical. They are commonly used in pipelines, heat exchangers, valves, and other equipment in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and marine applications. These flanges provide reliable and long-lasting connections in demanding environments.
