FAQs About Nickel Alloys Casting

Get the answers you need about nickel alloy casting here.
What are the differences between nickel alloy and stainless steel casting?
Nickel alloy castings offer superior heat and corrosion resistance, particularly at higher temperatures, which is suitable for extreme environments. Stainless steel pays more attention to corrosion resistance and overall mechanical properties.
Why are nickel alloy castings costly?
Nickel alloy castings are expensive because of the high cost of raw materials and the complex casting process. The high nickel content drives up material costs, and the precision casting frequently necessitates the use of vacuum furnaces for optimal results.
What are the most common nickel alloys used in casting?
Some of the common nickel alloys include Inconel (625, 713, 718), Hastelloy, Monel (nickel-copper alloys), and nickel-iron alloys such as Invar. Each provides various properties tailored to certain applications that need heat resistance, corrosion protection, or mechanical stability.
Can you produce small batch orders?
Yes, we can handle both large-scale and small-batch production, ensuring flexibility in meeting the needs of different clients. We specialize in producing high-quality custom parts, whether in small quantities or for large-volume orders.
Do you offer post-casting services?
Yes, BESSER provides additional post-casting services, including CNC machining, surface treatments (like polishing, electroplating, and coating), and heat treatment, to meet specific client requirements.
