Introduction to Nickel Alloy Piping
Stellar Alloys is an industry leader producer and distributor of Nickel Alloy Pipes and Tubes worldwide. Our niche is in the area of superalloys that are created to serve in the most challenging conditions on earth where plain stainless steels cannot be used. We can offer you high-performance Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy and Incoloy grades that can be used in applications with temperatures over 1000C (1832F) and highly corrosive acidic environments, such as NACE MR0175 to be used in sour service.
