Our nickel and special alloys are used in a wide range of applications due to their unique combinations of properties.
The heat and corrosion resistance of our resistance alloys, pure nickel and special alloys is essential for fail-safe components in power generation and the chemical and petrochemical industries, but also in household applications. Equally reliable and with defined physical properties, expansion and glass fusion alloys as well as resistance alloys are used in measurement technology, apparatus engineering and electrical engineering.
Materials and areas of application
Special metallurgy for highest purity
According to the requirements of analysis and purity, the special grades are melted in the vacuum induction furnace (VIM) or in the electric arc furnace.
All BGH casting plants use bottom-poured ingot casting to ensure the best block quality.
Subsequent electroslag remelting (ESR, PESR) or remelting under vacuum (VAR) specifically improves the purity of the material.
Also combination of these processes is possible in order to meet the highest requirements.
Here you will find an overview of BGH's nickel materials and special alloys, as well as information on wire and fine wire made from FeCr and NiCr special alloys.
