Nickel-Based Metal Castings

Nickel-based metal castings are components or parts made from alloys that primarily consist of nickel as the base metal. These castings are manufactured through the casting process, which involves melting the alloy and pouring it into molds to solidify and obtain the desired shape.

Nickel-based alloys are known for their superior performance of corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and good mechanical properties. They are widely used in fields like aerospace, power generation, chemical processing, and oil and gas exploration.

Nickel-based Metal Castings Offer Several Advantages, Including:

1，Corrosion resistance: Nickel-based alloys exhibit exceptional resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for applications involving harsh environments, acids, alkalis, and marine conditions.

2，High-temperature strength: These alloys maintain their mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, making them suitable for components operating in high-temperature environments, such as gas turbines and exhaust systems.

3，Wear resistance: Nickel-based alloys possess good wear resistance, making them ideal for applications involving abrasive or erosive conditions.

4，Creep resistance: These alloys have excellent resistance to creep deformation, which is the gradual deformation that occurs under long-term exposure to high temperatures and stresses.

5，Compatibility: Nickel-based alloys can be compatible with various other metals, allowing for the production of complex assemblies and components through casting.

The manufacturing process of nickel-based metal castings involves melting the alloy in a furnace, pouring it into molds, and allowing it to cool and solidify. After solidification, the castings undergo post-processing steps such as sand removal, finishing, cleaning, and inspection to ensure their quality and dimensional accuracy.

Nickel-based metal castings play a crucial role in various industries where exceptional corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and wear resistance are required. They are utilized in components such as turbine blades, pump impellers, valves, engine parts, and chemical processing equipment.

Lida casting foundry is equiped with vacuum melting furnace which can handle unusual alloy metal parts requirements with high alloy over 98%, such as iron based, cobalt based,nickel based alloy and brass based alloy, etc. Product surface finish is smoother by this technology, no air vent and oxidization, and can resist high temperature, which can meet customer's requirements with higher standards. And it's widely used in aerospace and petrochemical industry such as the airplane engine part, engine impeller, turbine blade, reactor, heat exchanger, valves and pipes in petrochemical industry.
