Nickel-based alloy tubes offer a range of excellent mechanical and physical properties for demanding environments including excellent corrosion resistance in both aqueous and high-temperature applications.
Corrosion-Resistant and High Melting Points
In addition to their high melting points and resistance to oxidation and corrosion, nickel alloy tubes are very ductile – they are easily drawn out into thin tubes. They can be electroplated and are easily welded, making them suitable for use in industries where very high and low temperatures come into play.
Inconel® Tubes
Our Inconel® tube alloys, including grades 600, 690, 718, and 625, are nickel-chromium based superalloys engineered for exceptional strength, oxidation, and corrosion resistance across extreme temperatures.
- Inconel® 600: Resilient against oxidation and carburization at high temperatures.
- Inconel® 690: Superior resistance to stress corrosion cracking and aqueous corrosion.
- Inconel® 718: Offers high tensile, creep, and fatigue strength.
- Inconel® 625: Versatile with excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance.
Superior Metallurgical Stability
With a greater ability to accept alloying elements in solid solution than stainless steel or iron-based alloys, nickel alloy tubes can maintain higher metallurgical stability. The combination of high alloying with multiple elements can provide very good corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments, while maintaining good welding and forming characteristics.
Mission Critical Industries
Our custom-engineered Nickel alloy tubes are excellent for heat exchangers in the chemical processing and nuclear industries. They’re used in steam generator tubing in the nuclear power industry, in high-temperature aircraft systems, and in oil and gas extraction programs where corrosion-, pressure- and temperature-resistant tubing is required.
Superior Tube manufactures precision nickel and nickel alloy tubes in the following alloys:
