Inconel™ Nickel-Chrome Super Alloy
Inconel™ is a nickel-chrome-based super alloy, with the name a registered trademark of Special Metals Corp. The alloy is used in extreme environments due to its high strength in temperature ranges from cryogenic to 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Inconel 625 has a high tensile strength range of 103 to 160 ksi. Melting points have been noted as high as 2,460º F.
Examples of Inconel™ applications include use in parts for the Space Shuttle and SpaceX. It is also found in automotive parts, gas turbine components, deep-sea well drilling, and chemical plant equipment.
