Elgiloy^® alloy Description

Elgiloy^® alloy is a Cobalt-Chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum alloy having a unique combination of very high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and high fatigue strength. Elgiloy^® alloy wire is highly resistant to sulfide stress corrosion cracking and as a result, is the alloy of choice in the most demanding sour well environments. In seawater Elgiloy^® is virtually immune to crevice and stress corrosion and pitting even at the highest strength levels and can operate at cryogenic temperatures up to 850°F (454°C).

Applications

Springs, torsion bars, seals, medical devices & implants and orthodontic wire.

Industries Supplied

Oil & Gas Extraction, Medical & Dental, Aerospace, Defense and Space Exploration.
