Inconel Sheet

Inconel sheet is a flat and thin metal product made from Inconel which is a group of nickel chromium based superalloys that has unique features such as high temperature strength, corrosion and oxidation. These sheets are designed for usage in areas where normal material may degrade or wear out. Due to the high heat and corrosion resistance, Inconel sheets are used in aerospace, chemical processing, marine and power generation industries. Inconel has some properties such as nickel, chromium and molybdenum that makes it to be used in high performance applications.

Advantages of Inconel Sheets

These flexible Inconel Sheets offer numerous benefits for industrial applications.

•  High Temperature Resistance: Inconel Sheets has high tensile and compressive strength at high temperatures and therefore can be used in high temperature applications.
•  Corrosion Resistance: Corrosion resistance to a large number of corrosive mediums including acids, alkalis and sea water.
•  Oxidation Resistance: High resistance to oxidation and scaling in high temperature and oxidative environment therefore, long life.
•  Mechanical Strength: Inconel Sheet is mechanically strong and has a high level of mechanical strength and pressure bearing capacity without yielding.
•  Fatigue Resistance: Stands cyclic loads and stress as well as fatigues and thus provides long service and performance.
•  Stress Corrosion Cracking Resistance: Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in condition of high pressure and high temperature.
•  Versatile Applications: Inconel Sheet is available in different thickness and can be processed into different shapes and sizes hence can be used in different industries.

Inconel Sheets offer several advantages that make them suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Common Applications of Inconel Sheets

Due to its excellent features, Inconel Sheets are preferred for various industrial applications.

•  Aerospace: Inconel Sheets are used in aircraft and spacecraft applications for example in gas turbine engines in which high temperature and corrosion resistance is desirable.
•  Chemical Processing: Applied in heat exchangers, reactors, and pipes where there is the flow of aggressive chemicals and high temperature processes.
•  Oil and Gas: Inconel Sheets are applied in drilling, refining, and production equipment which are exposed to corrosive gases, fluids, and high pressure.
•  Power Generation: Inconel Sheets are applied in gas turbines, steam generators and boiler parts that operate under high temperature and oxidation environment.
•  Marine Engineering: Ideal for use in marine environment where the structures are exposed to seawater and other corrosive conditions hence require the structures to be well protected.
•  Nuclear Industry: Inconel Sheets are used in nuclear power stations and other equipment where the use of materials with high temperature and corrosion resistance is crucial to safety and efficiency.

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