Applications of Inconel Alloys 20 Fittings
Aerospace and Jet Engines
Within the aircraft industry, nickel alloys are a natural option. Engine parts, in particular, are subjected to extreme heat and pressure. Materials must be able to survive this environment while remaining strong and stable. Nickel alloys resist creep under high-stress circumstances, have minimal expansion at high temperatures, and are corrosion resistant.
Oil and Gas Extraction
One of the most common industrial uses for Inconel alloys is oil and gas extraction. Because of the high temperatures and the inflammable and corrosive raw materials being processed or stored, many considerations are examined for design engineers when it comes to material selection for oil and gas extraction.
Marine Industry
Offshore platforms, as well as power and processing plants that use seawater as a cooling, are examples. Because seawater systems are highly corrosive, it is vital to employ materials that will not degrade in these environments. In such severe conditions, Inconel 20 alloys function admirably. Inconel 20 is used in propeller blades, propulsion motors, wire rope, and the sheathing of submarine communication cables, for example. Platform risers, hangers, down-hole equipment, and high-strength fasteners are among the other applications for Inconel alloys.
Automotive
Car engines are sensitive monsters that generate a lot of heat while yet needing to be reliable and light. Engineers are always obtaining materials that can match technical improvements and drive to offer the ‘next big thing’ in cars as the automobile industry progresses. Car engines must be fuel-efficient and pollution-controlled in addition to having higher power and push.
