nickel wire cloth

Nickel - Nickel is widely used in woven wire cloth as a corrosion resistant medium. It protects itself by forming a passive oxide film, thus resisting corrosion in many oxidizing environments. In today's industry, nickel is replaced with stainless steel when Possible for cost savings.

Monel - This alloy is essentially non-corrodible. Composed of 67% nickel, 28% copper and 5% others. Monel is more corrosion resistant than copper in oxidizing conditions and more resistant than nickel under reducing conditions. Monel has good strength characteristics and has traditionally been used in food processing. As with nickel, it can be replaced with stainless steel.

Hastelloy B - This alloy is used for corrosion resistance to hydrochloric acid in most concentrations and at temperatures up to the boiling point. It is not recommended for high temperature service.

Hastelloy C-276 - This alloy is well suited to corrosion resistance service against strong oxidizing agents such as ferric chloride and cupric chloride. Good elevated temperature properties in the 1600 to 1800 range

Carpenter 20 Cb-3 - A corrosion resistant alloy especially useful against hot sulfuric acid. Not normally used for high temperature service.

Incoloy Alloy 800 - The nickel and chromium content here are similiar to Carpenter 20 Cb-3, while the copper and molybdenum content are reduced. Used in high temperature and corrosive environments.

Inconel Alloy 600 - 72% nickel and 15% chromium content makes Inconel 600 suitable for high temperature applications where corrosion resistance is important. Frequently used for heat-treating baskets. :

Nichrome - A 60% nickel and 15% chromium alloy used in certain chemical conditions at temperatures up to 1700. Contains 1% silicon which helps keep scaling to a minimum. Subject to carbide precipitating characteristics.

Nichrome V - Similar to Nichrome, this alloy has a higher nickel content - 80% nickel and 20% chromium. It is used in severe chemical conditions at elevated temperatures up to 2000
