Inconel Material for Storage Tanks
At Stainless Fabrication, Inc., we’ve spent decades engineering high-performance storage tanks for industries that can’t afford failures. When extreme heat, aggressive chemicals, and high-stress environments are part of the job, Inconel storage tanks deliver the durability and reliability you need. Our team fabricates custom tanks using Inconel, a nickel-based superalloy built to withstand corrosion, heat, and pressure—ensuring long service life in the toughest conditions.
Why Inconel Material or Storage Tanks?
Inconel is no ordinary metal. It’s a nickel-chromium superalloy designed for environments where stainless steel just won’t cut it. High temperatures, chemical exposure, and extreme mechanical stress won’t compromise its integrity.
Key Advantages of Inconel Storage Tanks
- Heat Resistance: Holds up beyond 1,000°F (540°C) without losing strength.
- Corrosion Protection: Resists oxidation, pitting, and crevice corrosion, even in harsh chemical environments.
- High Tensile Strength: Stands up to mechanical and thermal stress without cracking.
- Non-Magnetic: A go-to material for industries where magnetism can interfere with operations.
We work with multiple Inconel grades, tailoring our fabrication to meet your specific needs:
- Inconel 600 – Handles extreme heat and oxidation, ideal for chemical processing and heat exchangers.
- Inconel 625 – Known for its superior weldability and marine resistance.
- Inconel 718 – High-strength material designed for heavy stress and temperature extremes.
- Inconel 800 – Resistant to prolonged high-temperature exposure, making it a prime choice for nuclear and industrial heating applications.
Industries That Work With Inconel Material
- Chemical Processing - Inconel tanks are used in the storage of highly corrosive chemicals, acids, and solvents due to the alloy's exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation
- Pharmaceutical - Inconel storage tanks are used for storing pharmaceutical products and intermediates, especially when specific corrosion-resistant properties are required
- Food Processing - Certain food processing applications requiring high-purity, corrosion-resistant surfaces may use Inconel storage tanks in specialized processes.
