HPM® Ni 52 is a Nickel-Iron alloy with a thermal expansion characteristic that corresponds to soft glass. Applications include magnetic reed switches and seals that need controlled linear expansion to about 1000°F. The alloy is readily formed or deep drawn from a fine grain annealed temper. Joining can be accomplished by conventional welding or brazing techniques. Useful magnetic characteristics can be produced from a continuous strand anneal. Available Sizes: HPM® Ni 52 available from Hamilton Precision Metals as strip product in thickness from 0.001” to 0.050” (0.0254 mm to 1.27 mm) in widths up to 12.0” (304.8 mm). The material conforms to UNS N14052.

AMETEK Specialty Metal Products has been a leader in developing roll bonding dissimilar metals for more than fifty years. The advantage of clad materials is the end product combines the superior properties of each metal: Strength, Corrosion Resistance, Lightweight, Cost, Thermal and Electrical Conductivity. As a result, clad products produce a material superior to any of the individual metals taken alone. Clad metals produced by our roll bond technology combine two or more metals into a single sheet or plate that can be cut, welded or formed into a finished part ranging from chemical processing chambers and pressure vessels to small applications and clad pipe. We specialize in cladding stainless steel or nickel alloys to carbon steel as well as triple layer clad plates bonding stainless steel to an aluminum core. Because of the properties offered by clad metals, and the wide variety of cladding and backing materials available today, these metals can be combined to make custom

Titanium exhibits a unique combination of properties including excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and outstanding strength to weight ratios. Titanium is produced as commercially pure or alloyed. Commercially pure titanium is typically used in implantable medical applications whereas the titanium alloys are produced with the addition of vanadium or aluminum for applications such as aerospace. Hamilton Precision Metals processes strip and foil products in Titanium CP (Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 4) and Titanium 3Al-2.5V (Grade 9).

Nickel based alloys are very useful materials for the manufacture of high quality tubing products. One of the key reasons is that they offer excellent corrosion resistance in both aqueous and high temperature applications. Nickel alloy tubes offer excellent corrosion resistance, high melting points and resistance to oxidationIn addition to their high melting points and resistance to oxidation and corrosion, nickel alloys are very ductile. Nickel based alloys have a higher ability to accept alloying elements in solid solution than other stainless steel or iron-based alloys. They cantherefore maintain higher metallurgical stability. The combination of high alloying with multiple elements can provide very good corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments while still maintaining good welding and forming characteristics.

Because of its strength, unique density and corrosion resistance, titanium has found applications in many industries. For high quality tubing products, it’s often a better substance to use than competing materials like stainless steels or super alloys. Titanium tubes are light weight and exceptionally corrosion and heat resistantThe density of titanium is about 60 per cent of that of steel- or nickel-based alloys giving significant weight savings in aerospace structures. The tensile strength is better than that of austenitic or ferritic stainless steels. Titanium is exceptionally corrosion resistant and exceeds the resistance of stainless steels in most environments. The metal is non-magnetic too, and has good heat transfer properties, with a melting point higher than steel alloys. Titanium is easily worked.
