Alloy R405 is a nickel-copper alloy with excellent corrosion resistance in an extensive range of marine and chemical environments. It has good mechanical properties from subzero temperatures up to about 480°C.
INCONEL alloy 603XL is a nickel-chromium alloy with the addition of molybdenum, silicon, and rare earth elements. The key characteristics of this alloy are its resistance to elevated temperature oxidation and nitridation.
UDIMET alloys are categorised as super alloys. Super alloys are high performance alloys that have cobalt, iron or nickel as the base metals. UDIMET alloys are capable of functioning under elevated temperatures and high mechanical stress.
INCOLOY alloy MA956 is an iron-chromium-aluminum alloy that is oxide dispersion strengthened and produced by mechanical alloying. Its production involves high-energy milling of metal powders to produce an alloy with a strengthening yttrium oxide dispersoid.
Lead-calcium alloys are commonly used for their superior mechanical properties when compared with pure lead. Some minor elements such as aluminum, silver, bismuth and some alkaline earth metals are also added to lead-calcium alloys to improve the alloy properties and the battery performance.
Super alloys are used in numerous applications such as petroleum equipment, gas turbine engines, nuclear reactors, submarines, and rocket motors.
Pyromet 601 alloy is a nickel-chromium-iron alloy that has excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures. It also possesses high temperature strength and corrosion resistance, which makes it suitable for applications where heat and corrosion resistance are the primary considerations.
Super alloys are widely used in many industries to make components such as gas turbine engines, rocket motors, nuclear reactors, submarines, and petroleum equipment. Super alloys perform excellently in high temperature environments.
Pyromet 625 alloy is a nonmagnetic, corrosion- and oxidation-resistant, nickel-base alloy with outstanding strength and toughness in high temperatures like 1093°C (2000°F). The alloy has excellent stress-corrosion cracking resistance to chloride ions and fatigue strength.
A surprising material has been found that displays the same industry standard thermal conductivity as diamond, with potentially far-reaching consequences for electronics manufacturers.
