Inconel and Stainless properties

Inconel and Stainless properties

(OP)
Hi,
Do you guys know of any good resources that explain material properties of various metals? I'm looking to get some, not necessarily general differences but concrete differences between Inconel and Stainless Steel. I know that Inconel is considered a "better" material in terms of strength, heat resistance, corrosion resistance but more expensive. Something that would be useful for me is at what general temperature would you shift from using stainless steel to using inconel (obviously all grades are different). Do you guys know of any good resources?

RE: Inconel and Stainless properties

Here is where you use the Internet to your advantage by searching Special metals web site for Inconel and for stainless steel, the Nickel Development Institute has good reference publications, for free.

If you want a reference book that provides one stop shopping for material use recommendations, you will not find it. Instead, you will need to decide on the application or process and tailor your search.
