What is Solution Treatment?
What is solution treatment?Solution treatment refers to the heat treatment process in which the alloy is heated to a high-temperature single-phase region and maintained at a constant temperature, so that the excess phase is fully dissolved into the solid solution and then rapidly cooled to obtain...Read more -
What is ANNEALING heat treament?
Anneal Process Definition: Annealing mainly refers to the heat treatment process in which the material is exposed to high temperature for a long time and then cooled slowly. The main purpose is to release stress, increase material ductility and toughness, produce special microstructure, etc. The ...Read more -
Monel 400
What is Monel 400? Monel 400 (UNS N04400) is a nickel-copper alloy that is hardened by cold working only. Monel 400 has low corrosion rate in flowing seawater, therefore it is widely used in marine applications. Monel 400 also has excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in most freshwat...Read more -
Incoloy 925
What is 925 alloy? Incoloy 925 (UNS N09925) is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-iron-chromium alloy with additions of molybdenum and copper. It combines the high strength of a precipitaiton-hardenable alloy with the excellent corrosion resistance of Incoloy alloy 825. What is the difference betw...Read more -

The Role of Molybdenum in Improving Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel/Nickel Based Alloy
The most common application of molybdenum is in the production of stainless steel and nickel-based alloys. Molybdenum is widely understood to improve the resistance to pitting corrosion of stainless steels and therefore is a key alloying element in their composition. Duplex, super duplex and aust...Read more -
What is Inconel 718?
Is Inconel 718 a stainless steel? Inconel 718 is a precipitation-hardening nickel-chromium alloy containing significant amounts of iron, columbium, and molybdenum, along with lesser amounts of aluminum and titanium. Inconel 718 materials maintain high strength and good ductility up to 1300°F ...Read more -
