1. What are the main applications of Inconel X750 wire?
Answer:
Inconel X750 wire is widely used in high-temperature and high-stress environments, including:
Aerospace springs, fasteners, and turbine components.
Nuclear reactor instrumentation and control systems.
Chemical and petrochemical industries for high-temperature resistant wiring and coils.
Electric heating elements and industrial furnaces.
2. What are the key mechanical properties of Inconel X750 wire?
Answer:
High tensile strength and creep resistance at temperatures up to ~700°C (1290°F).
Excellent fatigue resistance, suitable for cyclic loading applications.
Good hardness and toughness, particularly in age-hardened condition.
Retains mechanical integrity under oxidizing and corrosive conditions.
3. What makes the "bright surface" wire special?
Answer:
Polished and smooth surface reduces surface defects, minimizing stress concentration.
Improves corrosion resistance in aggressive environments.
Ideal for applications requiring precise winding, electrical conductivity, or aesthetic finish.
Easier to handle and process in coiling, bending, or spring manufacturing.
4. What sizes and forms are available for customized Inconel X750 wire?
Answer:
Diameter: Typically ranges from 0.1 mm to 10 mm (custom diameters available).
Forms: Coils, spools, or cut-to-length wires.
Can be supplied annealed, cold-drawn, or age-hardened depending on application.
Custom packaging available for industrial, aerospace, or laboratory use.
5. How should Inconel X750 wire be processed and handled?
Answer:
Winding and forming: Can be bent or coiled, but over-bending may reduce tensile strength.
Heat treatment: Age-hardening after solution annealing is recommended to achieve full mechanical properties.
Welding/joining: Requires proper procedures to avoid cracking; usually spot welding or brazing.
Store in a dry, clean environment to prevent surface contamination.
