Hexoloy® SA

The properties of Hexoloy SA make it an ideal candidate for thermocouple protection sheaths:-

1. High temperature performance to 1650^oC.
2. High thermal conductivity many times greater than recrystallised alumina.
3. Thermal shock resistance 10 times greater than recrystallised alumina.
4. Impermeable to gases at 31MPa.
5. Abrasion resistance:- 50% harder than tungsten carbide.
6. High strength and modulus of elasticity.
7. Excellent creep resistance.

Areas where Hexoloy SA has been successfully used include:- mineral processing, non-ferrous melting and refining, high temperature process furnaces, chemical incinerators, recuperators, and corrosive chemical processing streams.  Its high temperature capabilities have made it extremely effective in the coal processing industry, including gasification at temperatures above 1600^oC.
