Electrical Resistance Heating From industrial furnaces to household ranges, water heaters and toasters, alloys of the RESISTOHM® and BRIGHTRAY® series are used for wire, ribbon and strip heating elements. The INCOLOY® and INCONEL® alloys are used for seam-weld tubing for element sheathing and other alloys are used for starter and traction resistors in locomotives and other heavy engineering applications. Marine Engineering This is one of the longest established applications for nickel alloys; MONEL® was first registered as a trademark in 1906. Today our products are used for their resistance to seawater corrosion in marine and submarine applications, on offshore platforms and in power and process plants using seawater as a coolant. Power Generation From superalloys for land-based gas turbines, to feedwater and superheater tubing in coal and oil-fired utilities, to nuclear engineering, the INCONEL®, INCOLOY®, NIMONIC® and UDIMET® alloys are used for their corrosion-resistance and high-temperature strength. Alloy products are employed in solar engineering and nuclear fission development programs. Welding Our Welding Products Company produces a range of coated electrodes, filler metals and flux-cored filler wires, weldstrip and fluxes for joining nickel alloys, high-performance steels, dissimilar metals and cast irons. Welding Products Company's trademarks include INCO-WELD®, INCO-CORED® and NI-ROD®. The Oil & Gas Extraction Industries On land and offshore, the INCONEL®, INCOLOY® and MONEL® alloys are used for applications ranging from downhole tubulars and tools, through well-head hardware and processing equipment, to flare booms. Some of these alloys are particularly useful for wells where sour gas and oil products at high-temperatures could create major operating problems. |

Aerospace Engineering The first of the NIMONIC® alloys made the prototype jet engines of the early 1940s a practical reality. Today, the superalloys of the INCONEL®, NIMONIC®, INCOLOY® and UDIMET® series are used for their hot strength in civil and military engines, from combustors, through power turbines, to exhaust systems. The NILO® alloys are used for tooling for the production of composites. Our alloys are specified for applications in commercial jets, supersonic military aircraft, helicopters and space exploration programs. Automotive Engineering New engine ratings and pollution control requirements are creating new applications for the INCOLOY®, INCONEL®, NIMONIC® and other high-nickel alloys in exhaust systems valves, ignition equipment, sensors, electrical and electronic switch gear and safety devices. The Chemical & Process Industries Wrought nickel and the alloys of the INCOLOY®, INCONEL®, and MONEL® series are used for their corrosion-resistance in process applications from vessels, piping and heat-exchangers to pumps and valves. Petrochemical Processing The INCOLOY® and INCONEL® high-temperature corrosion-resistance alloys are used for vessels, reactors, heat-exchangers, pyrolysis tubing, pigtails, headers and transfer piping. In this largely continuous process industry, the predictably reliable performance of these alloys is a major benefit to plant designers and operators. Pollution Control & Waste Processing Helping meet new standards for clean-up and conservation, our products are used in power utilities and municipal and hazardous waste management systems, calling for the highest known performance from metallic materials working in aggressively corrosive environments. Applications include stack linings, scrubbers, boiler tubing and heat-exchangers. Electronics & Telecommunications The physical properties of the pure nickel grades and nickel-iron alloys account for their use for a variety of applications from precision components to glass/metal seals, magnetic shields and integrated circuits. Thermal Processing & Heat Treatment With high-temperature strength and resistance to corrosion by furnace atmospheres, the INCOLOY®, INCONEL®, and NIMONIC® alloys are used for furnace components such as radiant tubes, muffles, retorts, belts and hearths and for the jigs and carriers that support the work through the heat-treatment processes. KOTHERM® and NIOTHERM® wires and INCOTHERMtm alloy seamless tubing are used for thermocouples. |
