Certain industries need the toughest metals to cope with harsh and corrosive environments. Waverley Brownall stock raw material, forgings, fittings and valves in a range of special metals for the perfect Superalloy solution.

What Is The Chemical Processing Industry?

enquiries@waverleybrownall.co.uk

The chemical processing industry impacts our everyday life in the modern world. From agricultural insecticides to consumer products such as cosmetics – the benefits and input of this industry are all around us.

The chemical processing industry consists of companies and organisations that produce industrial chemicals. This industry overlaps with the Petrochemical and Plastic sectors particularly, as many chemical companies also produce plastics.

Similar/linked industries include:

Petrochemical and Chemical Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical
Food Processing
Water and Wastewater Processing

The chemical process industry includes a variety of different sized businesses worldwide from the United States to Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom.

Alloy 625 Fittings: Properties

There are many benefits to using alloy 625, otherwise known as Inconel 625 as a material for pipe fittings. Here are the main factors:

Alloy 625 is a nickel-based super alloy.
Super alloys are defined by characteristics such as high corrosion resistance, stability and strength.
Alloy 625 has excellent resistance to oxidation
Pitting and crevice corrosion resistance
Inconel alloys are frequently used for high temperature applications
Used in extreme environments: Natural gas processing, turbocharger rotors, gas turbine blades and in the chemical industry.
Non-magnetic and spark resistant
Resistant to stress corrosion cracking
Excellent fabricability
High strength

Industry Application Of Inconel 625

Alloy 625 has many features that make it high-performance for many applications. Industries that use alloy 625 include: Aerospace, Chemical, Offshore and Marine, Nuclear, Oil and Natural Gas.

Inconel 625 is a good choice for the Offshore industry as in environments with seawater, fresh water and natural salts there is almost no attack. Alloy 625 is part of a broad range on Inconel alloys that are popular within the Aerospace industry. In fact, Inconel alloy 718 has been used by SpaceX for the new SuperDraco engine.

We can generally quote deliveries of less than 8 weeks for alloy 625 raw material, fittings and valves.

Titanium Pipe Fittings UK | High Quality Titanium Alloy

Titanium was first discovered in 1791 by William Gregor, a Reverend in England who had a keen interest in minerals. Several years later it was also re-discovered in the ore Rutile by a German chemist called Martin Heinrich Klaproth. (He also discovered Uranium, Zirconium and Cerium.)

The pure form of the elemental metal titanium was not made until 1910.

The metal was formed by Matthew A. Hunter, a metallurgist and inventor from Auckland, New Zealand.

Origin of name: Titanium is reference to “Titans”, the sons of the Earth Goddess in Greek mythology.

Titanium Pipe Fittings, Tube Fittings and Valves

Titanium is known for its strength and surprisingly lightweight properties. It is used in the Oil and Gas industry, Aerospace industry and even used as the main alloy for medical implants .

Titanium Pipe Fittings

Waverley Brownall manufacture both low and high pressure pipe fittings in Titanium. We have specialised in the use of high performance alloy fittings manufacturing for over 40 years.

From our headquarters in the UK, we distribute our Oil & Gas fittings and valves across the world. With customers in South Africa, Italy and the United Arab Emirates.

Our pipe fittings are known for their consistent quality and remarkable durability.

The Aqueous Corrosion Resistance Of Titanium

Titanium resists all forms of corrosion from fresh or seawater to temperatures up to 260C.
Titanium tubing and instrumentation products have provided trouble-free seawater services for many industries
Titanium scored excellent on our Aqueous Resistance chart for Seawater and Chlorine (wet).

Upon exposure to air, the titanium alloy forms a passive oxide coating which protects the metal from further oxidation

More information can be seen on our special metals page.
