Considerations of Costs and Qualities of Hastelloy

It’s well-known that Hastelloy, also known as C276, is among the most difficult materials to work with—due to, in part, the toll it takes on the tooling but also its heat- and-corrosion resistance properties. This material is in high demand in industries like pharmaceutical, petrochemical, chemical, oil and gas, nuclear, pollution control, etc.,—anywhere there is extreme heat and a caustic environment, so there is good reason to discuss why it is sought after.

 Considerations of Costs and Qualities of Inconel

It’s well-known that inconel is among the most difficult materials to work with—due to, in part, to the toll it takes on the tooling but also its heat resistance properties. This material is in high demand in industries like aerospace, petrochemical, chemical, military, nuclear, pollution control, etc., anywhere there is extreme heat so there is good reason to discuss why it is sought after.

What Is Inconel^®?

Predominantly nickel, with chromium as a second element, Inconel^® alloys are oxidation-corrosion-resistant materials. It is a family of austenite nickel-chromium-based superalloys or high-performance alloys.

Considerations of Costs and Qualities of Titanium

It’s well-known that titanium is among the pricier of the materials to work with, though from the machining titanium perspective, not the easiest to work with—due to, in part, the toll it takes on the tooling. But it’s in high demand in industries like aerospace, petrochemical, chemical, medical, architecture, military, and transportation—so there is good reason to discuss why it is sought after.
