NICKEL AND
NICKEL ALLOY WEAVING MATERIALS |
|
|
|
Nickel |
|
Nickel is noted for its corrosion resistance, good
electrical conductivity and high heat-transfer properties. Wire mesh woven of nickel is
used in pure food and drug processing among several other applications although nickel
wire cloth is replaced frequently with stainless steel. |
|
|
| |
Monel 400 |
|
This alloy contains approximately 67% nickel, 28%
copper and 5% other elements. It is essentially non-corrodible. Monel is more resistant to
oxidation than copper and more resistant to reducing conditions than nickel. |
|
|
|
Hastelloy B |
|
This alloy is recommended for corrosion resistance
to hydrochloric acid although it is usually not used for high temperature applications. |
|
|
|
Hastelloy C |
|
Offering good corrosion resistance to strong
oxidizing agents, this alloy performs well at elevated temperatures in the range of 1600º
to 1800º Fahrenheit. |
|
|
|
Inconel 600 |
|
This alloy is high in nickel content (76% to 80%),
combined with a chromium content of 14% to 16% is suitable high temperature applications
where resistance to corrosion is required. Inconel is the preferred material for
heat-treating baskets fabricated of woven wire cloth. |
|
|
|
Incoloy 800 |
|
Similar to T-330 stainless steel, Incoloy has
superior corrosion resistance and strength. |
|
|
|
Nichrome I |
|
A high nickel (60%) alloy containing 16% chromium
and 24% iron suitable for certain chemical conditions and for temperatures up to 1700º
Fahrenheit. |
|
|
|
Nichrome V |
|
A higher nickel chromium alloy containing 80%
nickel, 20% chromium, this material is suitable for severe chemical conditions and for
elevated temperatures up to 2000º Fahrenheit. |
