Advantages & Characteristics
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Extremely low corrosion rate in harsh chemical environments like concentrated acids, alkalis, and salt spray, with a service life exceeding 20 years.
High Strength & High Ductility: Tensile strength ≥ 500 MPa and elongation ≥ 16% provide excellent toughness for stressed components like pressure vessel internals and valve springs.
Low Neutron Absorption Cross-Section: Negligible neutron capture in nuclear reactors, making it suitable for fuel cladding to improve fuel utilization.
High-Temperature Stability: Melting point of 1852 °C; maintains strength and corrosion resistance above 800 °C, suitable for high-temperature components like aircraft engine blades and rocket combustion chambers.
Good Workability: Can be cold-drawn, hot-rolled, and welded (TIG, EB weld). Dimensional tolerance can reach ±0.02 mm, with surface roughness ≤ 0.8 µm.
Biocompatibility: Non-toxic and inert to human tissue, commonly used in medical devices such as artificial joint connectors and dental implant support wires.
