An alloy is a combination of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal. These materials are engineered to enhance key properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance. At SAKYSTEEL, we provide a wide range of stainless steel and nickel-based alloy solutions for industrial applications.
How Are Alloys Made?
Alloys are produced by melting and mixing elements together under controlled conditions. When cooled, the resulting material offers improved performance over pure metals.
Common Alloying Elements:
- Chromium (Cr): Improves corrosion resistance
- Nickel (Ni): Enhances strength and ductility
- Molybdenum (Mo): Adds hardness and high-temperature strength
- Carbon (C): Increases tensile strength and hardness
Types of Alloys
1. Ferrous Alloys (Iron-Based)
- Stainless Steel: 304, 316, 321, 410, 430
- Tool Steel: H13, D2, SKD11
- Alloy Steel: 4140, 4340, 8620
2. Non-Ferrous Alloys
- Nickel Alloys: Inconel 625, Inconel 718, Monel K500
- Aluminum Alloys: 6061, 7075
- Copper Alloys: Brass, Bronze
- Titanium Alloys: Ti-6Al-4V
Why Use Alloys?
| Property | Pure Metals | Alloys |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | Moderate | High |
| Corrosion Resistance | Low | Excellent |
| Heat Resistance | Limited | Superior |
| Formability | Good | Adjustable by composition |
| Cost | Lower | Higher, but longer lifespan |
