Special-Purpose Nickel Alloys

NICKEL-BASE ALLOYS have a number of unique properties, or combinations of properties, that allow them to be used in a variety of specialized applications. For example, the high resistivity (resistance to flow of electricity) and heat resistance of nickel-chromium alloys lead to their use as electric resistance heating elements. The soft magnetic properties of nickel-iron alloys are employed in ...
