NICKEL ALLOY STRIP
Nickel’s austenitic structure stays stable from cryogenic temperatures through the hot section of a gas turbine, which is why nickel alloys are chosen where stainless steel runs out of room. Alloyed with chromium and molybdenum they resist pitting, crevice corrosion and chloride stress-corrosion cracking. Alloyed with aluminum or tungsten they form tenacious oxide scales and hold strength at very high temperature. Age-hardened with aluminum and titanium they deliver fastener and spring strength that survives long soaks at temperature.
Getting those properties in thin, flat, dimensionally consistent coil is the hard part. Work-hardening rates are high, the alloys are expensive enough that yield matters, and finished parts — bellows convolutions, honeycomb seal foil, springs, diaphragms, battery tabs — are unforgiving of gauge variation and poor shape. That is the problem our mills are built around.
NICKEL ALLOY STRIP, FOIL, AND COIL CAPABILITIES
Elgiloy Specialty Metals runs three dedicated rolling mills, including multiple 20-high configurations, with automated gauge and shape control on every pass.
| Thickness, annealed | .0008″ – .100″ |
| Thickness, tempered | .0008″ – .060″ |
| Width | .024″ – 40″, precision slit to your edge condition |
| Tempers | Annealed through extra full hard and super full hard |
| Gauge control | X-ray and Vollmer contact gauges working with laser tachometers; mass flow automatic gauge control predicts thickness during the pass rather than correcting after it |
| Shape control | BFI shape-sensing rolls feed back to mill actuators for edge, crown and profile correction |
| Annealing | Vertical furnaces with hydrogen and argon atmospheres, plus tension leveling |
| Finishes | BA1–BA4, CA1–CA6, and custom rolled finishes |
| Order quantity | Low minimums; Quality and Engineering support R&D trials and new product development |

NICKEL STRIP FAQ & QUESTIONS
How thin can you roll nickel alloy foil?
Elgiloy Specialty Metals rolls nickel alloy foil down to .0008″. Annealed material runs .0008″ to .100″ and tempered material .0008″ to .060″, in widths from .024″ to 40″.
What tempers are available in nickel strip?
Annealed through extra full hard and super full hard. Age-hardenable superalloys such as INCONEL 718, HAYNES 282 and A-286 are typically supplied solution-annealed so the part can be formed first and aged afterward.
Do you have a minimum order quantity for nickel alloys?
Elgiloy’s minimum order quantities are low by industry standards. Three rolling mills allow flexible production scheduling, and the Quality and Engineering teams regularly support R&D trials and new product development runs.
Can you slit nickel coil to a specific width and edge?
Yes. Elgiloy performs precision slitting, tension leveling and custom packaging in house at its Illinois facilities, so nickel strip can be supplied at your finished width, edge condition and coil configuration.
What specifications is nickel strip supplied to?
Common ones include AMS 5596, AMS 5597 and ASTM B670 for INCONEL 718; ASTM B443, AMS 5599 and AMS 5869 for INCONEL 625; ASTM B575 and ASTM B906 for HASTELLOY C-276; AMS 5878 and ASTM B435 for HAYNES 230; and ASTM B162 for Nickel 200 and 201. The full list for each grade is on its data sheet.
Which nickel alloy should I use for chloride environments?
HASTELLOY C-276, C-22 and C-2000 are the usual starting points for chloride-bearing and mixed-acid service, with INCONEL 600 and INCOLOY 825 specified in other conditions. Compare the data sheets above, then talk to our technical team about your operating environment before you commit.
How do I calculate coil weight and length?
Use our strip weight and length calculator, which accounts for alloy density, gauge, width and coil dimensions.
