A solid solution of nickel and copper with additions of aluminum and titanium, K - 500 can be strengthened by heat treatment. Precipitation (aka aging) provides the increased strength. Cold work can further enhance strength and hardness.  Typical of all the Monel alloys it has excellent corrosion resistance and it is used where higher strength and hardness is also required.

Today's topic is Monel alloy 405 when produced by Special Metals Corporation or simply alloy 405 in a generic form by other producing mills.  UNS designation for the chemical composition is  N04405.

A solid solution of nickel and copper, it cannot be strengthened by heat treatment.  Cold work can increase strength as in other commercial alloys. Typical of all the Monel alloys, it has an excellent combination of strength, toughness, and ease of fabrication.  A small sulfur addition increases the machinability of 405 as compared to alloy 400 for screw machine applications.  In other applications it would offer no advantage over alloy 400.  Excellent salt water corrosion performance leads to many marine applications such as components of valves, pumps, shafts, fixtures, fasteners, and fittings where the faster machining is important.

Today we will be taking a look at one of the more popular of the Nickel alloys known as Inconel 625 when produced by Special Metals Corporation or just "alloy 625" when produced by other manufacturers.

The UNS chemical composition designation is N06625 identifies the alloy regardless of the producing mill.  This alloy is a solid solution of its elements and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. Cold working will result in increased strength. Heat treatment can remove any undesirable effects of cold work.  All the common commercial Nickel alloys are used in applications involving elevated temperatures, corrosion , or environments with both.  Alloy 625 has enhanced corrosion protection due to its Chromium, Molybdenum, and Columbium content  It has excellent seawater corrosion performance. Chemical processing equipment relies on the corrosion performance over a wide range of environments.

Today we are taking a deeper dive into the subdivisions of the T tempers before we move on to talking about specific alloys in the 2xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx series.  Common examples of alloy and temper....  2011-T3, 2024 -T4, 2024-T351, 7075-T6, 7075 - T73511...lots of numbers here.  What does it all mean?  All the heat treatable alloys are strengthened by precipitation hardening. Cold working can supplement the heat treatment in achieving the required properties as shown in some tempers. Cold work that does not affect the properties is not prohibited in other tempers.

Today we will be taking a look at one of the more popular of the Nickel alloys known as Inconel 600 when produced by Special Metals Corporation or just “alloy 600” when produced by anyone else like Carpenter Technology. The UNS chemical composition designation is N06600

This alloy is a solid solution of its elements and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. Cold working will result in increased strength. Heat treatment can remove any undesirable effects of cold work.

Nickel alloys are used in applications involving elevated temperatures, corrosion , or both. Chemical processing equipment relies on the corrosion performance over a wide range of environments.

Commercial applications involve furnace components and fixtures requiring strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 2000 degrees F. For more info check out the site at:

This video is our second on PH stainless steels. If you have not seen the first do so now. You can find it here.

So, you either have seen the first video covering the basics or you decided you know all that stuff already, so we can move on. Regardless, if you are watching now, you have the basics of the martensitic PH types covered. Keep watching for more info!

This video will introduce you to a group of  corrosion and high temperature alloys called "Hastelloys". For the full transcript click here: https://www.michlinmetals.com/hastelloy-alloys-c22-c263-c276-hastelloy-x/Hastelloy is a trademark of Haynes International and only products they produce can carry the name "Hastelloy". Among the more popular are the Hastelloys designated  C-22, C-22HS,C-263, C-276, and X.  Hastelloy C-263 and Hastelloy  X are high temperature alloys used in applications like jet and rocket engine components. These other "C" alloys are used in applications more for their corrosion performance in severe service environments. These alloys are mainly composed of Nickel, Chromium, and Molybdenum.

Today our video is about one of the Iron-Nickel alloys that exhibit  low thermal expansion characteristics as compared to many other metal alloys. For more info make sure to check the link below for the transcript: https://www.michlinmetals.com/invar-36-nickel-alloy-36-invar-36-supplier/ Most commonly known as Invar 36  when produced by Carpenter technology, its UNS designation is K93601.  Free cutting Invar 36  has UNS designations K93050. The rate  of thermal expansion is roughly one tenth that of carbon steels at temperatures up to 400 deg. F  Metals typically expand with rising temperature  and conversely shrink with decreasing temperatures.  The rate at which this occurs is called the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion or  "CTE". It  typically varies with temperature in a non-linear manner.  To make things easier to use; Metallurgists give us the Mean CTE for a specific range of temperature. With this information we can either compare materials or we can calculate the change in dimension that would occur with a specific change of temperature.

Our topic for today is another in our series on precipitation hardening types of stainless steel 17-4.  For more info on 17-4 visit our website at:  https://www.michlinmetals.com/metal/17-4-stainless-steel/ The AISI designation is Type 630 and the UNS designation for the chemical composition of this alloy is UNS S17400.  Capable of high strength and toughness after heat treatment and with the corrosion and oxidation resistance typical of stainless steels, 17-4 is one of the most common and commercially important of the PH stainless alloys.  It finds applications in a wide range of industries from aircraft and aerospace to chemical and petrochemical.  For aerospace applications, the alloy is aircraft quality where the cleanliness requirements of AMS 2301 are applicable or premium aircraft quality Consumable Electrode Melted (CEM) to AMS 2300.
