Use more than a trade name
Include the grade, UNS designation where specified and applicable product specification. Brand or family names alone can leave important details unresolved.
A broad alloy family.
An exact grade matters.
Nickel alloy enquiries require a complete material designation. Identify the requested alloy, product specification and project conditions before selecting fitting details.
GRADE OVERVIEW
Start with the complete designation
The grade references below help structure an enquiry. They are not a statement of stock, equivalence or suitability for a particular service.
| Grade / detail | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Alloy 200 / 400 | State the exact requested alloy and full material designation. |
| Alloy 600 / 625 | Identify the alloy separately; these numbers do not describe interchangeable materials. |
| Alloy 800 / 825 | Provide the complete designation and any specific variant required. |
| Other nickel alloys | Send the material specification for an availability and feasibility review. |
Reference note: Special Metals alloy application overview. Use the project’s approved specification for selection.
SPECIFICATION DETAILS
Make the material requirement clear
Keep material identity and acceptance criteria together.
Keep operating requirements with the enquiry
Provide the project specification and relevant service conditions. A material’s suitability depends on the exact alloy and application.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you specify nickel alloys
Are all nickel alloys suitable for the same service?
No. The catalogue contains several distinct alloys. Use the exact material specified for your application and obtain approval for any alternative.
Does this page confirm stock or delivery time?
No. Availability and delivery depend on the exact fitting, grade, dimensions, quantity and documentation requirements. These must be confirmed in the quotation.
Which fitting sizes are available in this material?
Send the required fitting type, end sizes and wall thicknesses. Availability is reviewed for that combination; a material family does not define a universal size range.
What certificates should I request?
Specify the certificate type, material traceability, inspection and testing required by the project. Include supplementary requirements with the initial enquiry.
