Nickel and High Temperature Alloys

Nickel steel alloys are extremely popular for sensor housings and fittings. It is designed for critical applications where extreme conditions are required. This demand is due to its increased hardness, tensile strength, and elastic limit, all without reduced ductility. It also maintains strength at elevated temperatures as high as 1,050˚C to 1,200˚C. The nickel-based super alloys Inconel and Hastelloy are also used extensively.

Below are some of the grades in stock:
Nickel-Chromium Alloys – Inconel®

Stainless Steel and Specialty Steel 

Stainless steel alloys have found increasing usage in Gages, Transmitters and Switches that require great strength but can handle the increased weight. The high corrosion and temperature resistance found in stainless steel make it suitable for a range of fittings used on heavy duty pressure transducer and vacuum switch.
