When Nickel's Needed...

Nickel Alloy

When customers ask for the ultimate in toughness and corrosion resistance, Continental answers with nickel alloys. Complex down-hole tools and lining or cladding for pipes, storage vessels, well-heads and assemblies are typical nickel applications. Nickel is weldable, and plays nicely with steel.
