Nickel-based welding fillers can help compensate the stresses of brittle material arising from shrinkage during welding and their large deformation capacity. As a result, the brittle and difficult to weld material can be welded with nickel base consumable. Different iron and steel casting with high carbon content can be welded with nickel or ferronickel electrodes
Nickel, monel and nickel-molybdenum filler metals Due to its protective oxide surface layer pure nickel is highly resistant to corrosion attacks even in highly chloridic environments. A typical base alloy is the Alloy 200 series, used for manufacturing chemical-, food- and power industry equipment. To weld the equipment, UTP 80 Ni and similar fillers have
The occurrence of nickel is quite rare in the world. The raw ores are mined from sulphides-, oxides- or in silicate form. The metallic ore is enriched through further processing and nickel is subsequently produced by electrolysis or direct reduction. Pure nickel wire, sheets or piping processed using this method is widely used in many
Dubai’s metro and rail network is also continuously growing, reaching close to 50 stations the underground system connects various points and artificial islands in the desert city, raising myriad challenges for architects and construction crews alike. While a number of the financial district’s metro stations are underground, much of the Red Line’s stations can be
Heat input intake must be kept within a relatively narrow range when welding duplex steels, it needs have both an upper and lower limit. Upper limitations are due to the chemical composition of duplex steel, which is inclined to unfavourable precipitation formation when subjected to very high temperatures across a long period of time. It’s
The properties of duplex steels Duplex steels get their names for their special two-phase, approximately equal ferrite to austenite structure. Their favorable properties are due to this special microstructure, which combines the advantages of the two different types of corrosion resistant steels. On the one hand, we have the ferrite and martensite “chrome steels,” whose
Thanks to EQUIMETALS we could quickly identify the specific materials and needs to acquire the proper technical information for an unexpected Finnish chemical industry assignment. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to do so.
We were searching for a seamless metal tube on a very tight deadline and no trader could even make an offer to us. But luckily the EQUIMETALS database offered several alternatives for substitute metals! We made a deal with the designer, and subsequently got the job done on time.
