Behaviour that matters in service
- High-temperature stability — Withstands temperatures up to 2000°F (1093 °C) without losing mechanical properties.
- Excellent corrosion resistance — Resistant to oxidation, carburization, and chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking.
- Good mechanical properties — Retains strength and toughness in a wide range of temperatures.
- Weldability — Suitable for various welding methods, including TIG, MIG, and resistance welding.
Typical applications
- Aerospace — Turbine engines, thrust reversers, and combustors.
- Chemical Processing — Heat exchangers, evaporator tubes, and bubbler tubes in corrosive environments.
- Nuclear Industry — Reactor components and control rods. Oil & Gas: Downhole tubing and sour gas production components.
- Food Processing — Equipment exposed to extreme temperatures and corrosive chemicals.
