Exotic Alloy Sheet, Plate, Pipe & Bar — Duplex, Titanium, Monel, Inconel & Hastelloy

When standard stainless steel is not enough, exotic grade material takes over. From duplex and super duplex plate & sheet to titanium, Monel, Inconel and Hastelloy sheets, pipes, tubes and bars — these high-performance alloys handle the most aggressive corrosion, highest temperatures and toughest service. Creative Metal Industries supplies the complete exotic alloy range from its Vadodara stockyard with full mill traceability.

Duplex & Super Duplex Plate & Sheet

Duplex 2205 (UNS S31803) and super duplex 2507 (UNS S32750) are dual-phase stainless steels with roughly twice the strength of austenitic grades and superior chloride resistance. Duplex plate and sheet (PREN ≈ 35) suits chemical processing, desalination and coastal structures, while super duplex sheet and plate (PREN above 40) is specified for seawater, offshore and subsea service. Supplied to ASTM A240 from 3mm to 100mm thick.

Titanium — Sheet, Pipe, Tube & Bar

Titanium offers the best strength-to-weight ratio and outstanding resistance to seawater and nitric acid. Titanium sheet, pipe, tube and bar are supplied in Grade 2 (commercially pure, maximum corrosion resistance) and Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V, aerospace strength) to ASTM B265/B337/B338/B348. Used in desalination, chemical processing, marine hardware, medical implants and aerospace components.

Monel — Sheet, Pipe, Tube & Bar

Monel 400 (UNS N04400) is a nickel-copper alloy with excellent resistance to seawater, hydrofluoric acid and reducing environments. Monel sheet, pipe, tube and bar are supplied to ASTM B127/B165/B164 for marine engineering, oil refining, valve trim and chemical processing where chloride and acid attack defeat stainless steel.

Inconel — Sheet, Pipe, Tube & Bar

Inconel nickel-chromium superalloys (600, 625, 718) resist oxidation and retain strength at high temperature up to ~1000°C. Inconel sheet, pipe, tube and bar to ASTM B443/B444/B446/B166 are used in aerospace, offshore, chemical reactors, bellows, exhaust systems and high-temperature furnace components.

Hastelloy — Sheet, Pipe, Tube & Bar

Hastelloy nickel-molybdenum-chromium alloys (C-276, C-22) deliver the ultimate resistance to hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and wet chlorine. Hastelloy sheet, pipe, tube and bar to ASTM B575/B574/B622/B619 are specified for the most aggressive chemical, pharmaceutical, flue-gas desulphurisation (FGD) and waste-treatment service.

Frequently Asked Questions — Exotic Alloys

What are exotic grade materials?

High-performance alloys for extreme corrosion, temperature or strength — duplex, super duplex, titanium, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy and Incoloy. Supplied as sheet, plate, pipe, tube and bar for chemical, oil & gas, marine and aerospace use.

What is the difference between duplex and super duplex plate?

Duplex 2205 (PREN ≈ 35) suits moderate chloride service; super duplex 2507 (PREN > 40) is required for seawater and severe chloride. Both are dual-phase with ~2× austenitic strength, available as plate and sheet.

Do you supply titanium, Monel, Inconel and Hastelloy in all forms?

Yes — titanium (Gr 2, Gr 5), Monel 400, Inconel 600/625/718 and Hastelloy C-276/C-22 as sheet, plate, pipe, tube and bar to ASTM B-series standards, with full MTC.
