Overview
Controlled-expansion and soft magnetic nickel-iron alloys such as Invar, Nilo and Mumetal, plus iron-base superalloys including A286.
IMS handles nickel iron alloys as both prime material and as arisings recovered from industrial processing. Material is sorted and segregated by grade, so it returns to the melt as a known specification rather than a mixed stream.
Properties
- Heat Resistant
- Corrosion Resistant
- Acid Resistant
Applications
- Chemical and Food Industry
- Aero Engine Parts
