Nickel chrome - Import export

Our weld wire sheathing material is used in both flux cored wire and metal cored welding wire processes. The wire sheathing is formed into a tubular product by our customers and the center of the tube contains the ‘fill’ (flux, metal powders, etc) to bring the wire to the desired chemistry. The finished wire is used across a wide breadth of industries in processes such as: Submerged Arc Welding (SMAW) Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) Wire Arc Thermal Spray Flux cored welding wire producers use our metal sheathing materials to prepare finished wire for thermal spray and in surfacing applications, in high temperature and corrosive environments. Cobalt Our Ductile Cobalt Alloys are used to produce wire to hardface applications in the construction, mining, and oil and gas industry. Our proprietary process allows us to offer high Cobalt containing products (91% Cobalt or more) while maintaining a highly ductile strip for wire forming.

Our standard offering of nickel chrome strip products contain a chrome percentage ranging from 20%, 30% and 35% chrome (balance nickel). Silicon can also be added to the product to promote de-oxidation during the welding process The 35% chrome (AMETEK 835) is one of the highest chrome containing products offered in the industry and our high purity process allows for elongations above 45% for even those products containing silicon additions between 1% and 2%.

Cobalt-based metals are typically alloyed with chrome, nickel, iron and tungsten. They are used in challenging environments in applications that demand high temperature strength and hardness, excellent wear and corrosion resistance.

UNS NO8904, commonly known as 904L, is a low carbon high alloy austenitic stainless steel which is widely used in applications where the corrosion properties of AISI 316L and AISI 317L are not adequate. The addition of copper to this grade gives it corrosion resistant properties superior to the conventional chrome nickel stainless steels, in particular to sulphuric, phosphoric and acetic acids. However, there is limited use with hydrochloric acids. It also has a high resistance to pitting in chloride solutions, a high resistance to both crevice and stress corrosion cracking. Alloy 904L performs better than other austenitic stainless steels due to the higher alloying of nickel and molybdenum. The grade is non-magnetic in all conditions and has excellent formability and weldability. The austenitic structure also gives this grade excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.
