Nuclear Industry
Qihang Bida manufactures superalloys for nuclear industry components. Our products are processed into high-precision complex shape parts by vacuum investment casting.
Superalloy Application
Nuclear industry utilizes superalloys such as Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel, Stellite, for their superior strength, radiation resistance, and corrosion protection. These materials are used in reactor cores, control rods, steam generators, heat exchangers, and pumps. Their ability to perform under high temperatures and radioactive exposure ensures long-term safety, stability, and efficiency in critical nuclear applications.
