Alloy Grade UNS: CX-2MW – High Heat-Resistant Alloy

  • Overview

    Alloy Grade UNS: CX-2MW is a high-performance material designed for environments subjected to extreme temperatures and corrosive conditions. It offers excellent resistance to both heat and oxidation, maintaining its integrity even under prolonged exposure to high-temperature environments. This alloy also boasts a fairly high tensile strength, ensuring durability under mechanical stress, while its ductility provides the ability to absorb deformation without fracturing. These combined properties make it suitable for demanding applications where both thermal and mechanical stability are crucial.

  • Typical Uses

    Severe corrosive environments, waste processing, nuclear fuel applications, metal pickling equipment, and valve components.

  • MetalTek Grade

Non-Ferrous

Non-ferrous alloys are, literally, materials that are not iron-based. While others may provide non-ferrous materials of other materials, the MetalTek family of non-ferrous alloys are copper-based. In general, these materials deliver high strength, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. They are often found in marine applications and also bushing, bearing, and gear environments.
Stainless Steel Parts

Stainless Steel

Stainless steels owe their ability to resist corrosion primarily to the presence of a passive film on their surface. Chromium is chiefly responsible for formation of the passive film. Iron ceases to rust at approximately 12% chromium content and resistance to oxidizing corrosives increases rapidly with chromium content up to approximately 20%.
Petrochemical Fittings

Specialty Alloys

Specialty Alloys comprise a broad group of materials that deliver properties for more demanding applications, use more exotic or expensive materials, or require special processes to manufacture. Where standard materials may not offer desired performance, specialty alloys (including those that are modified further) may be a sensible selection.
