Alloy Grade UNS: ALLOY 120 – Alloys for Extreme Heat

  • Overview

    Alloy 120 is an alloy for extreme heat and corrosion services, that also offers great strength. The strength at temperatures can go up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a nickel alloy that contains up to 45% nickel. Alloy 120 also contains carbon, chromium, manganese, and silicon. The high chromium content (25%) provides superior resistance to various corrosive environments, including oxidizing and reducing atmospheres

  • Typical Uses

    Chemical and food processing equipment, heat treat equipment and calciner components, turbine engine parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Severe corrosion and heat resistant steel is engineered to withstand extreme environments, including high temperatures, chemical exposure, and acidic conditions.

Applications include chemical reactors, flue gas scrubbers, incinerators, and heat treatment fixtures exposed to corrosive and thermal stress.

Alloys such as Inconel, Hastelloy, Alloy 20, and super austenitic or duplex stainless steels are ideal for high-heat and corrosion-prone conditions.

Non-Ferrous

Non-ferrous alloys are, literally, materials that are not iron-based. While others may provide non-ferrous materials of other materials, the MetalTek family of non-ferrous alloys are copper-based. In general, these materials deliver high strength, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance. They are often found in marine applications and also bushing, bearing, and gear environments.
Stainless Steel Parts

Stainless Steel

Stainless steels owe their ability to resist corrosion primarily to the presence of a passive film on their surface. Chromium is chiefly responsible for formation of the passive film. Iron ceases to rust at approximately 12% chromium content and resistance to oxidizing corrosives increases rapidly with chromium content up to approximately 20%.
Petrochemical Fittings

Specialty Alloys

Specialty Alloys comprise a broad group of materials that deliver properties for more demanding applications, use more exotic or expensive materials, or require special processes to manufacture. Where standard materials may not offer desired performance, specialty alloys (including those that are modified further) may be a sensible selection.
