Precision CNC Machining: For accurate dimensions, facing, drilling, and finishing. |
Available Surface Finishes | Stock Finish (Standard for RF/FF flanges): A continuous spiral or phonographic serrated finish (e.g., 125-250 AARH) for optimal gasket seating. Smooth Finish: For specific gasket types or applications. Mirror Finish (Polished): For sanitary or high-purity applications. Concentric Serrated Finish. <br/> Cold Water Finish (Smooth for RTJ). Zinc Plated, Cadmium Plated, or other protective coatings (less common for Inconel but available if specified for specific environmental reasons, though Inconel's inherent corrosion resistance often makes these unnecessary). |
Marking & Stamping | As per ASTM B564 and relevant dimensional standards (e.g., ASME B16.5), typically including Manufacturer's Mark, Material Grade, Heat Number, Size, Pressure Rating, Standard, and Flange Type. Custom marking available. |

Inconel is expensive and challenging to machine due to its toughness and work-hardening properties. It also requires specialized welding techniques and tools, which can increase fabrication time and cost compared to other metals like stainless steel.
Inconel can withstand extreme temperatures, typically up to 1,980°F (1,080°C), and even higher in certain alloys like Inconel 718 and 625. Its excellent heat resistance makes it ideal for high-temperature applications such as jet engines and exhaust systems.
Inconel is typically welded using Inconel filler rods such as ERNiCr-3 (for Inconel 600/601) or ERNiFeCr-2 (for Inconel 718). These specialized rods ensure strong welds with corrosion and heat resistance similar to the base material.
Inconel offers exceptional strength at high temperatures, excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. It's ideal for harsh environments such as aerospace, marine, and chemical processing applications.
Yes, Inconel is generally stronger than most types of steel, especially at high temperatures. While carbon steel may have similar strength at room temperature, Inconel maintains its mechanical properties even in extreme heat and corrosive environments.
