Inconel & Incoloy Alloy Valves

VALVA provides high-performance Inconel and Incoloy alloy valves designed for thermal stability and corrosion resistance across a broad temperature range. These nickel-chromium-iron alloys are the industry standard for nuclear power, aerospace, and high-temperature chemical processing.

Inconel Series: High-Temperature Mastery

Inconel alloys (such as 600 and 625) are engineered for service from cryogenic temperatures to over 1000°C.

  • Inconel 600: Offers exceptional resistance to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking and high-temperature water corrosion. It is the premier choice for high-concentration caustic (NaOH) solutions at elevated temperatures.
  • Inconel 625: Features excellent fatigue strength and resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in seawater and aggressive acids.

Incoloy Series: Aqueous & Acid Resistance

Incoloy alloys (including 800 and 825) focus on resistance to aqueous corrosion and specialized acid mixtures.

  • Incoloy 800/800H: Highly resistant to steam, air, and carbon dioxide mixtures. Its high nickel and chromium content provide excellent stability in nitric and organic acids.
  • Incoloy 825: A “workhorse” for sulfuric and phosphoric acid service. It maintains incredible resistance to stress corrosion cracking in both oxidizing and reducing environments, including sodium and potassium hydroxide solutions.

Major Application Fields

  • Nuclear Power: Critical components for nuclear generators and waste steam boilers.
  • Oil & Gas Downstream: Gas coolers and water heaters handling F-, Cl-, and ammonia acid media.
  • Chemical Processing: Handling high-concentration sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and nitric acid mixtures.
  • Waste Management: Resistance to polyethylene corrosion and complex aqueous waste streams.
