Ti 6Al/4V (Titanium Grade 5) is the most widely used of all the alpha-beta titanium alloys accounting for more than 50% of total titanium usuage. It is typically used in the annealed condition, at service temperatures through 400°C (750°F). Ti 6Al/4V is welded with matching or with ELI filler wire. Ti 6Al/4V is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti. Amongst its many advantages, it is heat treatable. This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability. In consequence, its uses are numerous such as for military aircraft or turbines. It is also used in surgical implants. Generally, it is used in applications up to 400°C to improve ductility and toughness in cold-worked condition. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

The microstructures inside duplex stainless steels are approximately 50 per cent austenite and 50 per cent ferrite, and consequently duplex products share the physical properties of both ferritic and austenitic grades. Duplex stainless steels are resistant to the cracking caused by chloride stress corrosion in austenitic grades, and have improved resistance to localised corrosion. This family of stainless steels has roughly twice the yield strength of their counterpart austenitic grades . Higher hardness values provide better wear resistance for high precision tubes. Duplex stainless steel tubes have high hardness and wear resistance propertiesDuplex steels are easily welded and formed, similar to austenitic grades. Depending on chromium, nickel and molybdenum content, duplex stainless steels are divided into four main categories: lean duplex, duplex, super duplex and hyper duplex.

Alloy 718 was initially developed for the aerospace industry but its excellent strength and corrosion resistance were recognised by the oil industry and it is now widely used in this field also. Alloy 718 is a nickel-chromium alloy with additions of niobium & molybdenum which can be heat-treated to give high strength, good corrosion resistance, ease of formability and which can be welded with good resistance to strain age cracking. The alloy can be used at temperatures up to 700ºC. Alloy 718 for the oil industry is heat treated such that the hardness does not exceed 40HRC which is the maximum allowed by NACE MR-01-75/ ISO 15156: 3 to prevent stress corrosion cracking. Alloy 718 for aerospace and power generation is heat treated to give maximum strength and high creep resistance with typical hardness values exceeding 42HRC. The major applications are components for gas turbines, aircraft engines Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Alloy 276 is a nickel-molybdenum-chromium superalloy with an addition of tungsten designed to have excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of severe environments. The high chromium, molybdenum and tungsten contents make the alloy especially resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion in reducing environments while chromium conveys resistance to oxidizing media. The low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding to maintain corrosion resistance in as-welded structures. This nickel alloy is resistant to the formation of grain boundary precipitates in the weld heat-affected zone, thus making it suitable for most chemical process application in an as welded condition. Alloy 276 is widely used in the most severe environments such as mixed acid chemical processing, pollution control, pulp and paper production, industrial and municipal waste treatment, and recovery of sour oil and gas. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

HPM® 455 is a precipitation heat treatable martensitic Stainless Steel. The composition provides a good combination of corrosion resistance and heat treated strength favorable for fatigue applications. The material is well suited for demanding spring devices The alloy has reasonably good forming characteristics in the annealed temper considering that it has a hardness of RC30. A significant radius is useful when bending is necessary in a fabrication. Cold working prior to the precipitation hardening treatment can drive finish strength up to 270,000 PSI (0.2% offset yield strength). The alloy retains a good strength through 800°F (Approx. 70% of room temperature). Resistance to stress – corrosion cracking is optimized by heat treating at 950°F. The overall corrosion resistant to normal atmospheric is equal to SS 430 with no staining. The alloy can be welded by resistance and inert gas shielded techniques. It also is suitable for brazing using a flux when possible.
