A-1 Wire Tech, Inc.
INCONEL® ALLOY HX

A nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy with outstanding strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures to 2200ºF (1200ºC). Matrix stiffening provided by the molybdenum content results in high strength in a solid-solution alloy having good fabrication characteristics. Used in gas turbines, industrial furnaces, heat-treating equipment, and nuclear engineering. Standard product forms are round, extruded section, flats, forging stock, plate, sheet, strip, and wire.
