Incoloy Mesh

Incoloy mesh is a type of woven or welded wire mesh made from Incoloy alloys. Incoloy mesh is a high-performance material ideal for applications requiring resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, and oxidation. Its unique properties make it indispensable in industries like chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation, and aerospace. While it is more expensive than some other mesh materials, its durability and performance often justify the cost for critical applications. If you need a mesh that can withstand extreme environments and harsh conditions, Incoloy mesh is an excellent choice.

Key Properties of Incoloy Mesh:
1. High-Temperature Resistance:
– Incoloy alloys can withstand temperatures up to 1,100°C (2,012°F), depending on the specific alloy.
2. Corrosion Resistance:
– Highly resistant to oxidation, carburization, and sulfidation, even in harsh chemical environments.
3. Strength and Durability:
– Maintains mechanical strength and structural integrity at high temperatures and under stress.
4. Chemical Resistance:
– Resistant to acids, alkalis, and other corrosive substances, making it ideal for chemical processing.
5. Versatility:
– Available in various grades (e.g., Incoloy 800, 825) to suit specific applications.

Common Incoloy Alloys Used for Mesh:
1. Incoloy 800/800H/800HT:
– High nickel and chromium content for oxidation and carburization resistance.
– Used in high-temperature applications like furnace components and heat exchangers.
2. Incoloy 825:
– Contains molybdenum and copper for enhanced corrosion resistance.
– Ideal for chemical processing and sour gas environments.
