The nickel alloys manufactured by SMC are fabricated using conventional techniques and equipment. However, the procedures for some alloys will be found to be somewhat different than those employed for more common materials such as carbon steels, alloy steels and stainless steels.
These technical manuals describe procedures that are specifically applicable to the joining, machining and fabricating of SMC's high-performance alloys.
