Inconel Header plugs are specialized sealing units made of nickel-chromium superalloys and which are made to be used in extreme temperature, high pressure and highly corrosive media. Inconel is also capable of retaining its mechanical strength and structural integrity at a continuous high temperature, thermal cycling, and hostile chemical environments unlike duplex or super duplex alloys.
These header plugs find a typical application in high temperature heat exchangers, in boilers, furnaces, pressure vessels, critical piping systems where the material can not fail. Oxidation, carburization, sulfidation, and chemical resistance is one of the benefits of Inconel that make it a desirable alloy in the industries with cross limits of stainless steel.
