Inconel Metal
In This Section
Inconel® is a metal superalloy with a primary composition of nickel. Known for its ability to withstand high temperatures, resist harsh chemicals, and maintain its properties under extreme pressure, Inconel is a strong metal and a popular selection for components used in high-strength industrial applications.
At Hudson Technologies, we manufacture standard and custom-stamped components from various Inconel alloys to meet your exact needs. Contact us today to learn more or to get started on your order.
What is Inconel Metal?
Inconel is a metal made primarily of nickel and chromium, with various amounts of iron, molybdenum, cobalt, and other materials depending on the specific alloy. Specifically designed to maintain strength at high temperatures, Inconel alloys are also resistant to corrosive environments and can withstand thermal cycling without damage to their structural integrity.
As a specialty metal, Inconel is more expensive than standard metals like aluminum or steel. However, it offers superior performance and durability, making it a popular alloy for high-strength and demanding operations.
Types of Inconel Alloys
There are several types of Inconel alloys. At Hudson Technologies, we specialize in precision stamping for two of the most popular Inconel alloys: Inconel 625 and Inconel 718. While these alloys share a similar composition, they offer individual advantages for different applications.
Inconel 625
Inconel 625 contains higher amounts of chromium and molybdenum. These elements enhance its corrosion-resistant properties, making this alloy a popular solution for applications involving corrosive substances such as acids, seawater, and alkalis. Inconel 625 is considered easier to machine than Inconel 718, and therefore is the more popular of the two alloys.
Inconel 718
In comparison to Inconel 625, Inconel 718 contains higher amounts of iron and cobalt, as well as titanium and aluminum. This unique composition increases strength and allows this alloy to maintain its properties even under duress and in extreme temperatures. While more challenging to machine, Inconel 718 is a better choice for applications requiring high-strength and high-temperature performance.
