Nickel Based Alloy

NICKEL BASED ALLOY

A nickel based alloy is an alloy whose main constituent is nickel.

Nickel and nickel based alloys are vitally important to industry because of their ability to withstand a variety of severe operating conditions involving corrosive environment, high temperatures, high stresses, and combinations thereof.

Nickel and nickel based alloys have many applications, most of which are for resistance to corrosion and/or heat. Examples include aircraft gas turbines, steam turbine powerplants, turbochargers and valves in reciprocating engines, prosthetic devices, heat treating equipment, pollution control equipment, coal gasification and liquefaction systems, and components in pulp and paper mills. 

Wall Colmonoy is the world's leading manufacturer of hard surfacing and nickel based alloys since 1938.

Wall Colmonoy nickel based alloys meet the AWS A5.13-80 and AMS 4775 specification. Colmonoy 4, 5, 6, and 56 nickel alloys contain chromium boride crystals. Colmonoy premium nickel based alloys are the world's only wear-resistant alloys containing chromium-boride crystals. The diamond-like hardness of chromium-boride crystals make Colmonoy nickel based alloys ideal for protecting parts from wear.

Colmonoy nickel based alloys are your best defense against abrasion, corrosion and high temperatures and they have been extending the service life of machinery for over 50 years. Hard surfacing involves the application of wear-resistant alloys to new parts where wear is anticipated, or to worn parts to replace metal lost through wear.

By protecting metal parts against the prime factors of wear -- abrasion, corrosion, high heat, impact and galling -- Colmonoy nickel based alloys prolong the service life of new parts and restore worn components. The results are lower repair and replacement costs, less downtime, and increased productivity.

 Each year, millions of metal machinery parts are protected and restored with Colmonoy nickel based alloys and thermal spray systems. Call or email Wall Colmonoy Corporation today for consultation on how Colmonoy nickel based alloys can extend or restore the service life of your metal parts.
