Overview

Nickel Alloy Capillary Pipe is a high-performance material composed of high-purity nickel and appropriate amounts of chromium, molybdenum, and other alloying elements, with excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and mechanical strength. It is widely used in aerospace, chemical, medical, and other fields, used to manufacture tiny pipes and components that need to maintain precise conduction and structural stability in extreme environments. Our company has more than ten years of production and export experience in non-ferrous metal products, and can provide customers with high-quality nickel wire, nickel targets, rods, valve parts, and other pure nickel and nickel alloy products.

Nickel Alloy Advantages

• Excellent corrosion resistance can effectively resist a variety of corrosive media, especially in high-temperature corrosive environments.
• High temperature strength, low thermal expansion coefficient, stable structure and performance in extreme temperature environments, suitable for continuous high temperature conditions such as heat exchange and furnace tubes.
• It maintains excellent tensile strength and ductility at room temperature and high temperature, and can maintain good toughness even in low temperature environments, making it suitable for vibration and impact conditions such as aerospace.
• Excellent forming and processing performance, suitable for drawing ultra-fine diameter (up to 0.1mm or less) capillaries to meet the needs of medical and electronics miniaturization.

Process

(1) Pipe billet preparation: Use high-quality seamless thick-walled pipes as the initial pipe blank. These billets are typically made from high-purity raw materials through vacuum melting, forging, and hot perforation.
(2) Cold drawing/cold rolling: The pipe billet is drawn (cold drawn) or rolled on a rolling mill (cold rolling) through a series of dies with gradually reducing pore size at room temperature, to achieve diameter reduction and wall reduction.
(3) Intermediate annealing: usually solution treatment, that is, the pipe is heated to a specific high temperature and then cooled quickly to eliminate internal stress, restore plasticity, and prevent the material from cracking in subsequent processing.
(4) Finishing treatment: Through surface treatment such as pickling, cleaning, and lubrication coating, strict dimensional testing, non-destructive testing, and mechanical property testing are carried out to ensure that its inner and outer diameter tolerances, wall thickness uniformity, surface finish, and other indicators meet strict requirements.
