Nickel-based alloys such as Inconel and Hastelloy play a critical role where extreme performance is required. While carbon and stainless steels meet the needs of many applications, there are environments so demanding—so corrosive, hot, or high-stress—that only nickel-based alloys can provide reliable service. Why Nickel-Based Alloys? Nickel-based alloys combine exceptional corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and […]

As the severity and diversity of industrial processes increases, Severe Service Valves (SSVs) play an increasingly important role in isolating and controlling the various fluids used within them. Valves can be constructed with cast, wrought or forged components, but for cost efficiency, especially in large valves, castings are the most commonly used form of metal […]

Choosing the right stainless-steel alloy is not just a technical decision—it’s a strategic one. By understanding the unique advantages of both duplex and traditional stainless-steels, you can optimize your material selection for durability, cost-effectiveness, and overall performance. Understanding the Basics Traditional stainless-steels, such as the popular 304 and 316 grades, are known for their excellent […]
