As an experienced Nickel Alloy Steel Forged Fitting Supplier in India, Metal-Link supplies forged components for directional changes, branch connections, pipe extensions, isolation points, and system termination. Our product range includes:
Socket weld fittings are designed primarily for small-bore piping systems. The pipe is inserted into the fitting socket, and the external joint is welded to create a permanent connection.
Socket weld Nickel Alloy Steel Forged Fittings are commonly used in chemical processing, offshore facilities, high-pressure process lines, and elevated-temperature systems.
Threaded forged fittings use machined internal threads to connect with externally threaded pipe or components. They are useful where welding is not practical or where dismantling is required for maintenance.
Threaded connections should be carefully evaluated for vibration, cyclic loading, leakage-sensitive fluids, and severe service conditions.

Nickel 200 is commercially pure nickel known for its excellent resistance to many reducing environments and caustic alkalis. Its high nickel content also provides good thermal and electrical conductivity.
Nickel 200 forged fittings are commonly used in chemical processing, caustic handling, food processing, and specialized process equipment.
Nickel 201 is a low-carbon version of Nickel 200. The reduced carbon content improves its stability during prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures by reducing susceptibility to graphitization.
Nickel 201 forged fittings are suitable for thermal processing and chemical applications involving elevated operating temperatures.
Inconel 600 is a nickel-chromium alloy designed for high-temperature and corrosion-resistant applications. The combination of nickel and chromium provides resistance to a wide range of process environments.
Inconel 600 forged fittings are used in furnace systems, heat-treatment equipment, chemical processing, and high-temperature process piping.
Inconel 625 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy strengthened mainly through solid-solution hardening. Its molybdenum and niobium additions provide a combination of high strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
Inconel 625 Nickel Alloy Steel Forged Fittings are widely used in offshore oil and gas systems, marine engineering, chemical processing, and pollution-control equipment.
Inconel 718 is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy capable of developing very high strength through controlled heat treatment. Its primary advantage is exceptional mechanical performance at elevated temperatures.
Inconel 718 is generally selected for specialized high-strength and high-temperature engineering applications.
Incoloy 800 is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy developed for structural stability at elevated temperatures. It offers good resistance to oxidation and carburization.
Incoloy 800 forged fittings are commonly used in industrial furnaces, heat exchangers, petrochemical plants, and thermal processing equipment.
Incoloy 825 is a nickel-iron-chromium alloy containing molybdenum and copper. This composition provides strong resistance to a wide range of aqueous corrosive environments.
Incoloy 825 Nickel Alloy Steel Forged Fittings are widely used in acid processing, chemical plants, offshore systems, and oil and gas applications.
Hastelloy C276 is a nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloy designed for severe corrosive environments. It is particularly valued for its broad resistance to aggressive chemicals and localized corrosion.
Hastelloy C276 forged fittings are used in chemical processing, pollution-control systems, flue gas treatment, and severe corrosive service.
Nickel alloy forged fittings are commonly available in the following pressure classes. The correct class should be selected according to the piping design, pipe schedule, material properties, design temperature, design pressure, and applicable code requirements.
Pressure capability should always be verified using the appropriate temperature-pressure ratings rather than relying only on the pressure class designation.

Nickel alloys require carefully controlled forging and machining because many nickel-based materials exhibit significant work hardening. A typical manufacturing process includes:
Proper heat treatment and surface control are particularly important because surface contamination or improper processing can affect corrosion performance.
Nickel alloy forged fittings are selected for service conditions where conventional carbon steel or standard stainless steel may not provide sufficient corrosion resistance or elevated-temperature stability. Depending on the selected grade, important properties include:
The specific grade should be selected according to the combination of pressure, temperature, mechanical loading, and chemical environment.
Different nickel alloys are designed to address different corrosion mechanisms. Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 are particularly suitable for selected reducing and caustic environments. Inconel 625 offers strong resistance to seawater and localized corrosion, while Incoloy 825 performs well in various acid environments. Hastelloy C276 is selected for some of the most aggressive chemical processing conditions.
Depending on the grade, Nickel Alloy Steel Forged Fittings can resist:
Material selection should always consider chemical concentration, operating temperature, contaminants, flow conditions, and the expected corrosion mechanism.
Nickel alloy fittings are commonly welded using qualified procedures and compatible filler materials. Important fabrication considerations include:
The welding procedure should be developed specifically for the nickel alloy grade and service requirements.
Nickel alloy forged fittings are widely used in industries where corrosion resistance and high-temperature reliability are critical.
