Ukuba i-metal Foundry iphosa i-nickel esekelwe kwi-alloy ngokuphosa utyalo-mali olulahlekileyo (uhlobo lwe-precision casting) inkqubo, ngoko i-investment ye-nickel alloy castings iya kufumaneka. I-alloy esekelwe kwi-nickel luhlobo lwe-alloy ephezulu kunye ne-nickel njenge-matrix (ingaphezulu kwe-50%) kunye nobhedu, i-molybdenum, i-chromium kunye nezinye izinto njengezinto ezixutywayo. Izinto eziphambili ze-alloying ze-nickel-based alloys ziyi-chromium, i-tungsten, i-molybdenum, i-cobalt, i-aluminium, i-titanium, i-boron, i-zirconium kunye nokunye. Phakathi kwabo, i-Cr, i-Al, njl. I-alloys esekelwe kwi-nickel ininzi inesakhiwo se-austenitic. Kwimeko yesisombululo esiqinileyo kunye nokuguga, kukho izigaba ze-intermetallic kunye ne-carbonitrides yensimbi kwi-matrix ye-austenite kunye nemida yeenkozo ze-alloy. I-alloys esekelwe kwi-nickel inamandla aphezulu kunye nokumelana ne-oxidation efanelekileyo, ukuxhathisa ukubola kunye nokumelana nobushushu obuphezulu kuluhlu lwe-650 ukuya kwi-1000 ° C. I-alloy esekelwe kwi-nickel yinto eqhelekileyo yokumelana nobushushu obuphezulu. Iingxube ze-nickel-based alloys zihlulwe zibe yi-nickel-based based alloys-resistant-heat alloys, i-nickel-based corrosion resistant alloys, i-nickel-based wear-resistant alloys, i-nickel-based precision alloys kunye ne-nickel-based shape memory alloys ngokweempawu zabo eziphambili. I-nickel-based superalloys, i-iron-based superalloys kunye ne-nickel-based superalloys zibizwa ngokuba yi-alloys ephezulu yokushisa. Ke ngoko, i-nickel-based superalloys ibizwa ngokuba yi-nickel-based alloys. Izinto ze-nickel-based superalloy series zisetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwinqwelomoya, i-aerospace, i-petroleum, iikhemikhali, amandla enyukliya, isinyithi, i-marine, ukhuseleko lokusingqongileyo, oomatshini, i-electronics kunye nezinye iindawo. Amabakala kunye neendlela zokunyanga ukushisa ezikhethiweyo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zomatshini ziya kuhluka.
