Application of nickel alloys in automobile industry
2024-06-26
With the development of the automobile industry, more and more automobile production uses nickel alloys to improve the performance of automobiles. Nowadays, superalloys are widely used in auto parts such as turbochargers, exhaust valves, ignition prechamber, exhaust gas cleaner fastener, nozzles & etc. As a leading supplier & manufacturer in China, Lork group produces high-performance nickel alloys to meet these needs.
APPLICATIONS

- Aircraft structure
- Aircraft ducting and exhaust systems
- Engine thrust-reverser systems
- Turbine shroud rings
- Bellows, expansion joints
Environmental and end-of-life vehicle legislation has driven major car manufacturers and exhaust-system designers to specify particular high performance alloys in modern vehicles. Coupled with the increasing demand for fuel-efficient engines and greater pollution controls worldwide, has create numerous areas of application for the Inconel alloy, Incoloy alloy, Nimonic alloy and other high nickel alloys we supply.
Exhaust valve heads and stems in Nimonic alloy 80A have been adopted by all the major valve train suppliers for diesel and petrol engine, whilst Nimonic alloy alloy 90 and Inconel alloy 751 have been developed for specific engine applications.
High-performance vehicles and motor sports engines use Inconel alloy 625, which is particularly suited to exhaust couplings and lower power vehicles use Incoloy alloy 864 as hot gas containment tubing. Inconel alloy X-750 is used to make engine valve springs.
High nickel alloys are also used in ignition systems, sensors, safety devices and electrical and electronic switch gear.

A comparison of Inconel alloy standards for sheet, strip, and plate: which grade—600, 601, 625, or 718—suits your operating conditions? While AMS and ASTM standards for the same grade may specify similar chemical compositions, AMS standards typically impose stricter additional requirements regarding grain size (ASTM E112), non-destructive testing (ultrasonic/penetrant), and traceability.
