Nickel-base alloys are most often alloyed with a particular element to impact certain properties. They are known for:
- High strength
- Toughness
- Resistance to mineral acids
- Resistance to organic acids and salts
Nickel-base alloys are commonly used for:
- Fluid handling systems, such as pump and valve components
- High velocity fluid or crevice applications
- Caustic soda processing components
- Applications which encounter hot corrosives or corrosive vapors
