Nickel Base Castings and Nickel Alloy Castings

Nickel-base castings are used primarily for their superior heat resistant and corrosive resistant qualities.In North America, the designations for cast stainless steel and nickel based alloys are descriptive of their chemistry and purpose. A designation beginning with the letter “C” indicates that the alloy is used primarily for corrosive service. If the first letter is “H”, the alloy is typically used for high temperature service at or above 1200° F.

Common high-nickel alloys include Monel, Inconel, and Hastelloy.
