Alloy Grade UNS: CY-40 – Good Strength

  • Overview

    CY-40 is a nickel-chromium alloy renowned for its impressive strength and toughness across a wide range of temperatures, from cryogenic conditions to elevated heat. This alloy, comparable to INCONEL 600 in its wrought form, maintains its mechanical properties even in extreme environments, making it suitable for applications requiring both high and low-temperature performance. CY-40 exhibits good weldability, castability, and machinability, offering flexibility in manufacturing processes. It's fairly high ductility further enhances its versatility, allowing for some degree of deformation without fracturing. This combination of strength, toughness, and fabricability makes CY-40 a valuable choice for demanding applications where components must withstand varying temperatures and mechanical stresses.

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.
