Inconel HX is a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy with outstanding strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures to 2200°F (1200°C). Matrix stiffening provided by the molybdenum content results in high strength in a solid-solution alloy having good fabrication characteristics.
Inconel HX is used in gas turbines, industrial furnaces, heat-treating equipment and nuclear engineering. Standard product forms are round, extruded section, flats, forging stock, plate, sheet, strip and wire.
