Welding Techniques

Welding is the heart of our operation at American Alloy. We use different welding techniques because no two jobs are ever quite the same. Some demand absolute purity, others maximum strength. What sets us apart is how we match each weld to its real-world application, using proven welding techniques every step of the way. TIG […]

Inconel Applications

Inconel® represents a family of superalloys. Manufacturers prize these high-performance metal alloys for their impressive resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, oxidation, and creep. The passivation layer that forms on Inconel surfaces in the presence of heat and the fact that its grains do not grow in high-temperature environments give Inconel resistance strength even when facing […]

Jacketed Vessels: What You Need to Know

Many industries work with products that require processing or storage at specific, uniform temperatures to ensure performance and longevity. To achieve this, jacket coverings on containers enable accurate control within a vessel for constant or precisely cycled temperatures. Stainless steel jacketed vessels play a crucial role in manufacturing, without which companies could incur losses due […]

Stainless Steel Storage Tanks: A Quick Guide

Stainless steel is an optimal material for tank fabrication due to its corrosion resistance. An iron alloy, it is the chromium content in stainless steel that generates a thin resistant layer of metal oxides. This capability enables numerous industries like food and beverage, cosmetics, medicine, and even chemical processing to safely use stainless steel storage […]

ASME Section VIII Compliance: What You Need to Know

ASME Section VIII is a key standard governing the design, fabrication, and inspection of pressure vessels. This section, part of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), guarantees the safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance of pressure vessels used in a variety of industries. At American Alloy Fabricators, Inc., we specialize in custom pressure vessels […]
