Question 1

For what purpose is an Inconel Plate utilized?

Accepted Answer

Inconel plates are utilized in industries in which heat pressure and corrosion produce a challenging environment for common metals. The plates are commonly utilized in heat exchangers gas turbines reactors and aerospace engine components. It is therefore good for applications where low maintenance and long life are desired.

Question 2

What is the difference between Inconel and stainless steel for plate use?

Accepted Answer

Inconel is superior to stainless steel at high temperature and in harsher environments. It does not become weaker with heat and is capable of handling extreme thermal cycling. While stainless steel performs in most general applications Inconel is used when chemicals or heat will ruin other metals. It also resists thermal and mechanical stress cracking. Although it's higher-priced it lasts longer and is safer for important systems. It's generally utilized in aerospace chemical facilities and nuclear use.

Question 3

How thick are Inconel plates?

Accepted Answer

They are available in a wide range of thicknesses, typically from 0.5mm to 100mm or more, depending on the grade and application.
