High-Performance Nickel-Based Alloys

Nickel alloys are used for forgings that need to withstand intense temperatures, the most severe environments and must be wear-resistant as well as corrosion-resistant. 

Nickel alloys hold high flow stress even at elevated temperatures, making it difficult to move during the forging process. A fine grain structure must be maintained to meet demanding specifications, requiring more tonnage and specific temperature and reduction sequences to shape the material.

Scot Forge Difference

At Scot Forge, we know the importance of getting your parts on-time, as expected. However, for customers new to procuring forgings, ordering a forging that will meet all specifications for end-use applications may be a challenge, which is why finding a trusted supplier and partner is essential. Our employee-owners are here to ensure your project stays on track with our forgings by offering:

Pro Tip - Did you know near-net shapes can save you time and money? Oftentimes, a customer calls to order a disc, which they will later machine down to a more shaped part. By working with our technically trained sales team you can get as close to your finished product shape as possible to optimize your production process.
