Nimonic Angle

Nimonic angles are special nickel base superalloys developed for high temperature and stress applications. These angles are widely used in all the applications that need high temperature strength, oxidation resistance and mechanical properties, and therefore they are very useful in industry. Nimonic alloys contain nickel and other elements such as chromium, cobalt, titanium and so on, and have the characteristics of high temperature corrosion resistance, creep resistance, fatigue resistance, etc. Nimonic Angle sections are generally applied in supporting structures, strengthening members and loads carrying parts in elevated temperature services.

Advantages of  Nimonic Angle

These flexible  Nimonic Angle offer numerous benefits for industrial applications.

• High-Temperature Resistance: Nimonic Angle can maintain their strength and structural properties at temperatures over 1000°C (1,832°F) and are therefore used in applications such as turbine engines, heat exchangers and exhaust systems.
• Excellent Oxidation and Corrosion Resistance: These angles exhibit high resistance to oxidation and corrosion, and they can be used in aggressive environments such as chemical processing plants, marine environments and gas turbines, among others, to meet the required performance in such conditions.
• Superior Mechanical Strength: Nimonic angles offer great tensile and yield strength, which makes it possible to use these to bear high mechanical loads without buckling or yielding under high stresses.
• Fatigue Resistance: Nimonic alloys do not undergo fatigue due to repeated loading and unloading and hence are useful as structural materials that experience thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
• Dimensional Stability: The coefficient of thermal expansion of Nimonic alloys is very low meaning that even when the Nimonic Angles are used under very high temperatures, they can maintain their shape and size and thus give the required accuracy when used in applications that require high accuracy.
• Creep Resistance: They are particularly resistant to creep, which is a slow, continuing deformation under stress at high temperatures. This makes them suitable for use in areas such as turbine blades and structural parts of power plants.
• Ease of Fabrication: These angles are available in standard dimensions but can also be cut, bent or welded to suit a particular application where required. Due to this versatility in fabrication, they are ideal for use in several complicated operations in sensitive sectors.

 Nimonic Angle offers several advantages that make it suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
