Unveiling Our Hermetic Pins – Exceptional Strength, Reliability, and Quality for Your Connector Applications.

Dear Members,????????????????????

We are excited to introduce you to our latest innovation – the Hermetic Pins by Universal Precision Screws. Crafted from Alloy 52, a superalloy with a nickel content exceeding 50%, these pins stand as a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and precision in the Aerospace, Defence, Marine and Medical Industries. Hermetic pins are made from super alloys, which serves as the raw material for these precision components. Let's take a closer look at one of the super alloys - Inconel's journey.

Inconel's Journey: From Milk Cans to Cutting-Edge Technology ??

Inconel, a registered trademark of Special Metals Corporation, embarked on its journey in the 1930s with Inconel 600 making its mark in a surprising application – milk canisters. Originating from the simple task of transporting milk from cow to home, these early metal milk cans demonstrated the resilience of Inconel against corrosion.

?While the metal milk cans of yesteryear were often made of tin, steel, or copper, Inconel's unique property of forming a passivating oxide layer when heated, just a few microns thick, provided exceptional corrosion protection. This laid the foundation for Inconel's rise, even in its nascent days.

Evolution into Superalloys: Inconel's Rise to Prominence ????

With the advent of refrigerated trucks shifting the dynamics of the dairy industry, Inconel found new life in the realm of superalloys. Inconel 718, introduced in 1962 for aerospace applications, quickly found applications in the demanding conditions of the oil and gas industry. Its resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, oxidation, and creep made it indispensable as drilling operations moved offshore into deeper and more challenging environments.

?Following closely, Inconel 625 made its mark in 1964, showcasing remarkable corrosion resistance in aggressive environments. The addition of molybdenum and niobium to the nickel-chromium base endowed Inconel 625 with strength and versatility, making it a staple in wire rope, propeller blades, propulsion motors, and even as sheathing for undersea communication cables.

Challenges and Triumphs in Machining: Navigating the Nightmare of Deep Hole Drilling ???

Inconel, with its superb properties, does not come without challenges. Machining Inconel, especially in deep hole drilling, can be a formidable task. The low thermal conductivity of nickel alloys concentrates heat in the cutting - edge area, presenting a real challenge for those working with these exceptional materials.

?At Universal Precision Screws, we comprehend the intricacies involved in working with superalloys. Our Hermetic Pins, meticulously crafted from Alloy 52, stand as a testament to our dedication to excellence. While we acknowledge the difficulties in manufacturing these pins, it is our commitment to precision that ensures they meet the highest standards.
