Converter based on MONEL and INCONEL nickel alloys

 

Both Inconel and monel are nickel containing alloys. However, in addition to containing nickel as their primary alloyant, they also include other elements as their secondary alloyant. For instance, Monel alloys consist of copper, which ranges between 30% to 40% of their total weight.
Inconels are a class of nickel-chrome-based super alloys characterized by high corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, strength at high temperatures, and creep resistance. Inconel is able to withstand elevated temperatures and extremely corrosive environments due to two factors.
Monel is used for marine engineering, chemical and hydrocarbon processing equipment, valves, pumps, shafts, fittings, fasteners, and heat exchangers. It is also used as part of metal instruments and frames of eyeglasses.
