Inconel

The registered trademark name, Inconel, is applied as the prefix name to more than twenty different highly corrosion-resistant high-temperature strength metal alloys produced by Special Metals Corporation. These Inconel alloys or superalloys are nickel-based alloys that exhibit traits such as high resistance to corrosion, oxidation, carburization, pitting, crevice, corrosion cracking, and high-temperature strength. Often, Inconel is referred to as “Inco”.
Alloys of identical chemical and mechanical properties are available from other manufacturers and offer excellent alternatives to the various Inconel® brand alloys.
The corrosion-resistant superalloys are widely used in extreme environments where tremendous heat and corrosion resistance are paramount to the integrity of the end product. Chemical processing, nuclear, petrochemical, aerospace, and marine industries widely use these superalloys.
