Inconel for industrial gaskets
Nickel-chromium superalloy for extreme temperature and highly corrosive service.
Inconel is a nickel-chromium superalloy built for the most severe temperature and corrosion conditions a gasket can face. When stainless steel windings or cores start to lose strength or resist attack, Inconel keeps sealing — which is why it appears in the highest-severity oil & gas and petrochemical duties.
Key properties
- Nickel-chromium superalloy
- Excellent high-temperature strength
- Outstanding corrosion resistance
- Used in extreme service conditions
Typical gasket uses
- High-temperature spiral wound windings
- Critical chemical and petrochemical service
- Specialty metallic gaskets
- Severe corrosion environments
Frequently asked questions
When is Inconel specified for gaskets?
Inconel is typically specified for extreme temperature or highly corrosive service where stainless steels are insufficient. It is common in demanding oil & gas and chemical applications.
Do Inconel spiral wound gaskets need Material Test Reports?
Yes. Given the cost and criticality of Inconel components, we supply full Material Test Reports (MTR) with every order so you can verify the exact alloy grade installed at each flange joint.
