NIMONIC alloys consist of nickel and chromium, with the nickel content more than 50%. These alloys exhibit high-temperature low creep and are high performance alloys. Additives like titanium and aluminium increases the strength of the alloy.
Nickel alloy 800H/HT is intended for high temperature structural applications. The high nickel content in its composition makes the alloys highly resistant to both carborisation and to embrittlement from precipitation of sigma phase.
Super alloy HAYNES 625 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum wrought alloy. It is an excellent general purpose material that is ideal for high temperature use in high strength, oxidation problem applications.
Super alloys function well in high temperature applications, and are highly sought after by numerous industries. Some of the components that use super alloys include gas turbine engines, nuclear reactors, submarines, rocket motors, and petroleum equipment.
Zamak is a family of alloys having a zinc base metal and alloying elements such as copper, magnesium and aluminum. These alloys can be electroplated, wet painted and chromate conversion coated.
Grade Zamak 3 alloy is the most widely used zinc alloy in zinc die casting industry. It has excellent physical and mechanical properties, good castability and long term dimensional stability. It also offers excellent finishing characteristics for chromate treatments, painting and plating.
Chemical composition, properties, and common applications of Zamak 5 alloy used in die casting, including mechanical, thermal, and physical characteristics.
Nitronic 50 alloy is an austenitic, nitrogen strengthened steel that has corrosion resistance superior to grade 316 and 317 stainless steels. It has very good mechanical properties at both sub-zero and elevated temperatures.
Researchers have achieved another breakthrough in 3-D printing by developing techniques to print 3-D liquid metal structures which retain their shape at room temperature.
