The UK's Leading Suppliers of
Refined Nickel Alloy

Nickel superalloys are widely used in high integrity industries. Nickel is a versatile element that exhibits many advantageous properties, such as its ability to withstand corrosion and perform at elevated temperatures where high stresses are involved. Our nickel alloy product range includes; Inconels, Hastelloys, Nimonics, and Rene Alloys. Secondary nickel such as Ni200 and NiFe is also part of our portfolio.

We purchase expertly manufactured revert nickel alloys from high-integrity industires, such as aerospace, precision engineering, automotive and foundries that are sorted and processed to the highest standards.

What is a Nickel Alloy?

Nickel alloys are materials that contain nickel as the principal element in their chemical composition, along with other elements such as iron, chromium, and molybdenum. These alloys are known for their high strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures, making them useful in a wide range of applications.

There are many different types of nickel alloys, each with its own specific combination of elements and properties. For example, stainless steel is a type of nickel alloy that contains a high percentage of chromium, which gives it its corrosion resistance. Inconel is another type of nickel alloy that is known for its high strength and ability to withstand extreme temperatures, making it useful in aerospace and chemical processing applications.

Nickel alloys are used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation. They are also used in the production of medical implants, as well as in the manufacture of jewellery and other decorative items.

What is a Nickel Alloy Composed of?

Nickel alloys are materials that contain nickel as the principal element in their chemical composition, along with other elements such as iron, chromium, and molybdenum. The specific combination of elements in a nickel alloy can vary depending on the desired properties of the material.

For example, stainless steel is a type of nickel alloy that contains a high percentage of chromium, which gives it its corrosion resistance. Other common elements found in stainless steel include nickel, carbon, and manganese.

Inconel is another type of nickel alloy that is known for its high strength and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. It is typically composed of nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, with smaller amounts of other elements such as iron, titanium, and aluminum.

Monel is another common type of nickel alloy that is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and high strength at elevated temperatures. It is typically composed of nickel, copper, and smaller amounts of iron, manganese, and other elements.

Other types of nickel alloys may contain different combinations of elements depending on the desired properties of the material. For example, some nickel alloys are designed to have low expansion coefficients, while others are designed to be highly resistant to corrosion or to have high electrical conductivity.

How Strong are Nickel Alloys?

The strength of a nickel alloy depends on the specific combination of elements it contains and the manufacturing process used to produce it. In general, nickel alloys are known for their high strength and ability to withstand extreme temperatures, making them useful in a wide range of applications.

Some common types of nickel alloys, such as stainless steel and Inconel, have a high tensile strength, which is a measure of the maximum amount of stress a material can withstand before it breaks or deforms. Stainless steel has a tensile strength of around 80,000 to 100,000 pounds per square inch (psi), while Inconel can have a tensile strength of up to 200,000 psi.

Other types of nickel alloys, such as Monel, are known for their excellent corrosion resistance and high strength at elevated temperatures. Monel has a tensile strength of around 70,000 to 90,000 psi at room temperature, but its strength increases at higher temperatures, making it useful in applications where it will be subjected to high temperatures and corrosive environments.

Overall, the strength of a particular nickel alloy will depend on its specific chemical composition and the processing techniques used to produce it.
