This delivers a combination of increased strength and stability at elevated temperatures (up to 1,100°C/2,012°F), whilst retaining the high temperature corrosion resistance of Inconel alloy 601. The high nickel and chromium content makes the alloy resistant to a variety of both reducing and oxidising media, not to mention achieving comparable corrosion resistance to Inconel 625. Going forward, this wire is expected to be used to produce components destined for the aerospace, medical, nuclear and petrochemical sectors, all high-tech industries that demand material that performs under the most extreme engineering conditions.

“We’re going to start by offering this grade initially in the size range of 0.025mm (.001”) to 5.00mm (.197”), with each order made to customer specification within 3 weeks,” explained Andrew du Plessis, Technical Director at Alloy Wire International. “Areas of application can include springs and wire forms for aerospace components, land-based gas turbines, power generation, acid processing, petrochemical processing to name but a few.”

He continued: “With our ability to manufacture very small order quantities, engineers have the freedom to acquire just the amount of wire they need for their own R+D or product trials. Better still, wire in this Alloy 617 is also manufactured under our AS 9100 (aerospace) and ISO 13485 (medical devices) approved quality systems.”

Alloy Wire International manufactures round, flat and profile wire in over 60 Exotic alloys, such as Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, Nimonic and Rene 41.
