Nibron Special is a trademark of Columbia Metals Ltd. It is a high-strength copper-nickel-aluminium alloy closely related to the German Werkstoff number DIN 2.1504. The composition of Nibron Special is 14.5% nickel, 3% aluminium, 1.5% iron, 0.3% manganese, with the balance being copper. The upper limit for several other trace elements is also defined. The […]

Nibron Special is a trademark of Columbia Metals Ltd. It is a high-strength copper-nickel-aluminium alloy closely related to the German Werkstoff number DIN 2.1504. The first commercial aluminium-containing Cu-Ni alloy was developed by Langley Alloys in the 1940’s and marketed as Hidurax Special (Cu-15Ni-3Al). It was developed to meet a requirement for a high strength […]

Incoloy 925 is increasingly being used in Oil and Gas applications, as a lower cost alternative to Inconel 718. As such, it will be machined into a variety of downhole components such as measurement equipment and drill string parts, as well as valves, seal assemblies and hangers. The mechanical properties of Incoloy 925 are quite […]

Incoloy is a registered trademark of Special Metals Incorporated and is applied to a family of nickel-based alloys primarily alloyed with chromium. There are more than ten different grades currently named within the Incoloy family, but the two most widely used Incoloy grades are Incoloy 825 and Incoloy 925. Both Alloy 825 and Alloy 925 […]

Alloy 925 and Alloy 718 are quite different in composition. However, because Alloy 925 achieves similar tensile strength as Alloy 718 it is increasingly being used as a lower cost substitute in numerous Oil and Gas related applications. Alloy 925 is a nickel-based alloy, which means that the largest element present is nickel at 38-46% […]

Alloy 925 is a nickel-based alloy, which means that the largest element present is nickel at 38-46% of the total. It also contains iron, chromium and molybdenum, but at lower proportions. Alloy 925 was developed by Special Metals Incorporated, who have promoted it under their trademark of Incoloy 925. There are more than ten different […]

Incoloy 825 and 925 are very similar in terms of composition and so have near identical physical properties but have very different tensile properties. Incoloy is a registered trademark of Special Metals Incorporated and is applied to a family of nickel-based alloys primarily alloyed with chromium. There are more than ten different grades currently named […]

Incoloy is a registered trademark of Special Metals Incorporated and is applied to a family of nickel-based alloys primarily alloyed with chromium. There are more than ten different grades currently named within the Incoloy family, but one of the most widely known is Incoloy 825. Incoloy 825 was brought to the market in 1952, building […]

Alloy 825 is a nickel-based alloy, which means that the largest element present is nickel at 38-46% of the total. It also contains iron, chromium and molybdenum, but at lower proportions. Alloy 825 is more widely known as Incoloy 825, where Incoloy is a registered trademark of Special Metals Incorporated and is applied to a […]

Alloy 825 is a nickel-based alloy, which means that the largest element present is nickel at 38-46% of the total. It also contains iron, chromium and molybdenum, but at lower proportions. A stainless steel is a type of steel that resists corrosion. The composition of a steel product is based upon iron, and a stainless […]

Inconel 725 is a nickel-based grade, primarily alloyed with chromium with significant additions of molybdenum, niobium and titanium. Nickel is understood to be an expensive metal, and subject to variations in price. The other main alloying elements are all relatively expensive too. resulting in the high cost of Inconel 725. In addition, its very high […]

Inconel 725 is a nickel-based grade, primarily alloyed with chromium. It is very similar to the composition of Inconel 625, except that an addition of titanium is made that, when subject to an additional heat treatment process, result in significantly higher strength. Inconel 625 is composed of at least 58% nickel, 20-23% nickel, 8-10% molybdenum, […]
