Nickel based Inconel alloy 625 for 3D printer, pipes and discs

3D Printer

The world is growing very fast. Every year new metal printed objects are introduced on display. The reason is that we are observing more metal prints, making it cheaper and offering manufacturers a large count of extra uses in their business models.

Inconel 625 is a nickel based alloy that is made for use in the printers that implement binder jetting technology. This alloy has several applications, particularly in energy, chemical and aerospace industries, as this metal is highly corrosion and oxidation resistance and retains its structure over the vast temperature and pressure limits. The metal with 99% density, is utilized for turbine blades to mold process, for filtration and separation equipments.

Alloy 625 that is over 99% dense is valid for binder jetting technique as it is an economical 3D printing industrial material. Higher volumetric output per unit of time as compare to other metal 3D printing techniques and wider flexibility for simultaneous printing multiple production components were offered. We trust that the potential to directly print very dense metal components increase the competitive edge with subtractive manufacturers and other metal 3D printing techniques.

Material research and development is an essential part of the 3D printing market, particularly for material applications to work on the different projects to increase the offers for 3D printing material. With maturity in the market, the materials that printers are fit for printing may be simply crucial to the manufacturing industry just like the printing industry.

Benefits of rupture discs

The geothermal power industry utilizes reclosing pressure relief valves for overpressure security where operators manage the brine/steam production process. Plants utilize rupture discs to develop a leak tight seal at the valve inlet to secure the system from corrosion and expensive maintenance and repair cost.

The rupture disc is a pressure relief equipment that is used when the system pressure reaches to the damaging pressure level, and just open in the irregular overpressure conditions to decrease accumulated pressure from a pressurized device.

The device that interacts with hydrogen sulphide can be rated for sour service. The standards prefer the suitable materials in sour gas and oil conditions to avoid sulphide stress cracking failures where H2S is available. These damages are hazardous to operator’s health and protection and to the device also. Stress corrosion cracking of metal occurs due to the joint action of tensile stress and corrosion in the availability of water and hydrogen sulphide. In oil, gas and geothermal power plants, stress corrosion cracking is a critical factor because the fluids sent through the wellborne usually contain significant magnitude of H2S.

 The reverse acting rupture disc uses its proprietary G2 technique to offer significant advantages for geothermal sector. It includes extraction levels on the disc that discards large stress magnitudes that occur by using traditional hard scoring methods. The received increased service life and the maximum allowable service pressure offer outstanding return on investment for the user.

The rupture disc is made from alloy 625, a material commonly used in the high temperature applications and severe corrosive media where pitting and crevice corrosion are an issue.

The Inconel 625 discs are compliant to NACE MR0175 and MR0103 needs, offering users more trust in controlling leakage.

Subsea clamp solution offered to offshore wind farms.

The bespoke subsea clamps made from Inconel 625 are fabricated for use in one of the biggest offshore wind farms in United Kingdom. These smart engineering solutions meet the specific project challenges excellently.

The manufacturing and prototype testing was performed for successful installation methodology. The clamps are made from high grade materials that include machined alloys such as Inconel 625 and are known to offer an expected service life of about 25 years.

With the diversification in the latest market, including nuclear decommissioning and offshore renewable- these clamps evidently show that it is easy to deliver unique and better engineering solutions for the emerging marine industry.
