Inconel Foil

Inconel foil is a thin metal foil which is made from Inconel alloys that are nickel-chromium based superalloys that have great resistance to oxidation, corrosion and high temperatures. This foil is intended to perform better than other materials in situations where other materials may not be able to handle. The components used in the manufacture of Inconel including nickel and chromium make the foil extremely robust. Inconel foil is commonly used in aerospace, chemical processing, power generation and marine engineering industries where the foil is subjected to a lot of pressure and conditions.

Advantages of Incoloy Foil

These flexible Incoloy Foil offer numerous benefits for industrial applications.

•  Corrosion Resistance: Affords very good protection against a wide variety of corrosive environments including acids, alkalis and sea water thus giving the material long life and reliability.
•  High Temperature Stability: Does not lose its mechanical properties and dimensions at high temperatures for use in high temperatures.
•  Oxidation Resistance: Excellent oxidation and scaling properties, which is very desirable in oxidizing environment.
•  Strength and Durability: Has high tensile strength and is highly durable and can accommodate a lot of mechanical stress and pressure.
•  Thermal Stability: Thermal stability, which makes the performance of the material to be constant in applications that involve high temperatures.
•  Flexibility: It is flexible and of a very small thickness which makes it suitable for use in industries that require accurate and light materials.

Incoloy Foil offer several advantages that make them suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Common Applications of Incoloy Foil

Due to its excellent features, Incoloy Foil are preferred for various industrial applications.

•  Aerospace: Used in aerospace parts and assemblies that require high strength, heat resistance, and durability in harsh environments.
•  Chemical Processing: Applied in equipment such as reactors, heat exchangers and piping systems where resistance to corrosive chemicals and high temperatures is paramount.
•  Power Generation: Applied in power generation systems including gas turbines and boilers where the system is subjected to high temperature and corrosive conditions.
•  Marine Engineering: Ideal for marine products, parts that are in direct contact with sea water and other severe marine conditions.
•  Electronics: Used in electronics for shielding and thermal uses because of its high thermal and oxidation resistance.
•  Heat Treatment: Suitable for use in high temperature heat treatment processes since it can be exposed to thermal stresses and still function properly.

Incoloy Foil are applied across various industries due to their valuable features, which make them versatile.
