Ni-Chrome Super Alloy Castings

Alloy & bimetallic castings · since 1982

Castings that survive the heat, corrosion and wear that destroy ordinary steel.

A Visakhapatnam foundry casting to your grade and standard, from carbon and alloy-steel castings to the heat, corrosion and wear-resistant super-alloys that ordinary steel can't survive. Every part is melted, cast, heat-treated and inspected in-house.

The works

Four decades of alloy casting

Melting, casting, machining, heat treatment and the metallurgical lab at our works in Visakhapatnam, under one roof.

What we cast

Components engineered for the furnace, the reformer and the reactor

From general carbon and alloy-steel castings to the parts that run hot, corrosive or abrasive. Cast to your grade and standard, then machined, heat-treated and inspected in-house.

Process capability

From melt to finished part, in one plant

Every casting flows through the same in-house chain: poured to grade, cast by the route that fits the part, then heat-treated, machined, tested and inspected before it ships.

Material grades

Which alloy grades does Ni-Chrome cast?

Heat, corrosion and wear-resistant grades mapped to the designation you specify: composition, mechanicals and maximum service temperature. Figures are indicative. Full datasheets on request.

GradeASTMTypeMax service tempTypical use
HK40A35125Cr-20Ni heat-resistant~1,100 °CReformer / heater tube sheets
HP-NbA29725Cr-35Ni Nb-modified~1,120 °CReformer service, higher creep strength
CT-15CA351Ni-Cr-Nb~1,100 °CXmas trees, manifolds
