Nickel-based Alloy Composite Plate

Overview of  Nickel-based Alloy Composite Plate
Nickel-based alloy composite plates are advanced materials designed for applications requiring exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and superior mechanical properties. These plates consist of a nickel-based alloy bonded to a substrate material, typically for enhanced performance in harsh environments.
Features of Nickel-based Alloy Composite Plate
Nickel Alloy Type: Nickel-based alloys can vary, with common types including Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, and Incoloy, each tailored for specific properties such as high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, or strength.

Substrate Material: The substrate provides the bulk of the composite’s structure, often aluminum, steel, or composite materials like fiber-reinforced plastics, chosen for its mechanical properties or cost-effectiveness.

Bonding Process: The method used to adhere the nickel alloy layer to the substrate can be explosion bonding, hot rolling, or cladding, affecting the bond strength and uniformity.

Thickness: The thickness of both the nickel alloy layer and the substrate are specified, with the alloy layer typically thinner to maximize cost-effectiveness while maintaining surface protection.

Dimension: Available in standard or custom sizes, dimensions refer to the plate’s length, width, and overall thickness, tailored to application requirements.

Surface Finish: The surface of the nickel alloy layer can be polished, brushed, or left as-milled, depending on the need for aesthetics or specific functional requirements.

Corrosion Resistance: A critical parameter, often quantified by testing methods like salt spray tests, indicating the alloy’s ability to resist corrosion in various environments, including acidic, alkaline, or high-salinity conditions.

High-Temperature Performance: Nickel-based alloys are known for their ability to retain strength and resist oxidation at elevated temperatures, with performance parameters including creep resistance and thermal expansion coefficients.

Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness are key indicators of the composite plate’s ability to withstand mechanical stresses.

Weldability and Formability: The ease with which the composite plate can be welded or formed into complex shapes is important for fabrication and installation, influenced by the choice of substrate and bonding process.

Heat Treatment: In some cases, heat treatment after bonding may be required to optimize the properties of the nickel alloy layer or improve the bond interface.
Parameters and specifications of nickel-based alloy composite plates
Thickness: The overall thickness is generally between 5mm and 100mm, depending on the needs of the application scenario.

Width and length: It can be customized according to customer requirements. The common width range is 1000mm to 3000mm, and the length is more flexible.

Alloy composition: The nickel-based alloy part mainly contains elements such as nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and molybdenum (Mo). The proportion of these elements will affect the corrosion resistance, strength and other properties of the plate.

Bond strength: The bonding strength between the nickel-based alloy and the substrate is a key indicator. High-quality nickel-based alloy composite plates can provide a bonding strength of more than 200MPa.

 
Application of nickel-based alloy composite plates
Chemical industry: used to manufacture equipment such as reactors and storage tanks, especially when dealing with highly corrosive media.
