Below, we’ll highlight some of the specific hard-to-find nickel alloy tubing we offer and their applications.
Inconel 718 Tube & Its Applications
Continental Steel can supply high-quality Inconel 718 seamless tubing in accordance with AMS 5589 and AMS 5590 standards. Inconel 718 is a nickel-chromium alloy that is highly resistant to oxidation, corrosion, and extreme temperatures, making it a great choice for demanding environments where durability under high stress is critical.
Additionally, Inconel 718 offers excellent creep resistance and mechanical strength at high temperatures up to 1300 °F (704 °C). These beneficial properties make Inconel 718 tubing ideal for the following uses:
- Aerospace Equipment
- Chemical Processing Equipment
- Gas Turbines
- Heat Exchangers
- High-Pressure Applications
- Jet Engines
Hastelloy X Tube & Its Applications
We can provide Hastelloy X seamless tubing per AMS 5587 standards. This nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy is renowned for its excellent strength and oxidation resistance at high temperatures. It also offers thermal stability, good weldability and formability, and the ability to withstand corrosive conditions. These characteristics make Hastelloy X AMS 5587 tubing highly valued for the following applications:
- Aircraft Components
- Complex Fabrications
- Furnaces
- Gas Turbine Engines
Inconel 625 Tube & Its Applications
Continental Steel can supply Inconel 625 seamless tubing per AMS 5581. Inconel 625 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy known for its excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and high-temperature environments. Its ability to perform well under extreme conditions such as high stress and heat makes Inconel 625 tubing a popular choice for applications requiring high strength and durability. Common use cases include:
- Aerospace Equipment
- Chemical Processing Equipment
- Exhaust Systems
- Heat Exchangers
- Jet Engine Components
- Marine Applications
- Nuclear Reactors
