Inconel alloy is a "super alloy" designed for use in conditions that conventional materials such as steel or aluminum alloy cannot meet.

The main components of Inconel include Nickel (usually over 50%) and chromium, combined with other elements such as Molybdenum, Niobium, aluminum, titanium... depending on the alloy grade (eg Inconel 625, Inconel 718).

Main characteristics of Inconel alloy:

1. High temperature resistance: Inconel maintains durability and temperature stability up to over 1000°C (depending on the type), superior to steel or aluminum.

2. Corrosion and oxidation resistance: When heated, Inconel creates a stable oxide layer, protecting the surface from environmental attack.

3. Mechanical strength: Enhanced through precipitation hardening or solid solution reinforcement, depending on the alloy type.

Diverse applications: Inconel is often used in jet engines, gas turbines, aerospace, oil and gas and chemical processing.
