Nickel alloys are metals made from combining nickel as the primary element with another material. It merges two materials to deliver more desirable features, such as higher strength or corrosion-resistance. Because of its unique properties, it’s used in a variety of equipment spanning multiple industries.
Cepheus stainless steel are specialty suppliers in all grades and forms of Nickel.
NICKEL ALLOYS (20, 155, 200, 201, 255, 400, 405, 600, 601, 617, 625, 718, X750, 800H, 825, 925, C22, C276, INVAR 36 and more)
Common forms include
TUBE, PLATE, SHEET, PLATE, ROUND BAR, WIRE, FITTINGS and more
What Are Nickel Alloys?
Nickel alloy is formed by combining nickel with other metals, commonly titanium, copper, aluminum, iron, and chromium. Approximately 3,000 nickel-based alloys are in use, forming products for numerous industries. Roughly 90% of all new nickel sold every year is used to create alloys. The most popular one is stainless steel, which accounts for approximately two-thirds of new nickel alloys produced.
The enhancements this material provides includes:
- Improved versatilityher toughness
- Increased corrosion resistance
- Oxidation resistance
- Improved strength at higher and lower temperatures
- Magnetic properties
- Electronic properties
Many nickel-based alloys offer superior performances at temperatures above 1000°C, making them well suited for extremely harsh environments. These offer excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures while maintaining quality weldability, workability, and ductility.
Nickel alloy has a life span between 25 and 35 years on average and can last much longer depending on the application. With its extended service life, this material is more cost effective than other metals. Nickel alloy is recyclable and is among the most recycled materials around the world. Approximately half of the nickel in stainless steel products comes from recycled nickel materials.
