Nickel Alloys Valve Materials

Nickel alloys (Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel, Alloy 20) handle the most aggressive chemicals - concentrated acids, chlorine, hydrofluoric acid - where stainless and duplex fail. They are specified where corrosion resistance, not cost, governs the selection.

When do you use nickel alloys valve materials?

Nickel alloys (Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel, Alloy 20) handle the most aggressive chemicals - concentrated acids, chlorine, hydrofluoric acid - where stainless and duplex fail. They are specified where corrosion resistance, not cost, governs the selection. This family includes 8 grades in our material library, listed below with their service-temperature limits and common designations.
