Introduction to Nickel Alloy Castings
Nickel-based alloy refers to a high alloy with nickel as the matrix (generally greater than 50%) and copper, molybdenum, chromium, and other elements as alloying elements. The main alloying elements of nickel-based alloys are chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, aluminum, titanium, boron, zirconium, and so on. Among them, Cr, Al, etc. mainly play an anti-oxidation effect, and other elements have solid solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening, and grain boundary strengthening.
What Are the Main Application Industries of Nickel Alloy Castings?
Investment castings made from nickel-based alloys are commonly used in applications involving high temperatures or corrosive operating environments, such as the aerospace, marine, and chemical industries.
Aerospace applications
Due to their creep resistance and low expansion at high temperatures, many nickel alloy castings are ideal for aerospace applications. Common applications of nickel alloy castings in the aerospace industry include structural honeycombs, fasteners, connectors, engine components, and more.
Chemical Processing
Nickel alloy castings can be used to manufacture equipment components in reactors such as columns, piping systems, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, etc. Due to their excellent corrosion resistance, they can withstand many of the everyday chemical reactions that occur in these facilities.
Marine applications
Nickel alloy casting's corrosion resistance makes it ideal in applications such as piping systems, pump shafts, seawater valves, trolling wire, and strainer baskets.
Musical instruments
Nickel alloy casting is used as the material for valve pistons or rotors in some higher quality musical instruments such as trumpets, tubas, and French horns.
