Not to be confused with Inconel, Incoloy vented screws are made of a nickel alloy which contains iron and a lower content of nickel. Incoloy is essentially a more economical option to Inconel, yet with more restricted corrosion resistance and temperature limits. Typically, Incoloy is an ideal material for long-term exposure in high temperature environments due to its oxidation, carburization and creep resistance. Incoloy is widely used for its resistance to seawater, brine, sour gas and high chloride environments at elevated temperatures, which make it a popular choice in the oil and gas and power industries.
The most commonly used grades of Incoloy nickel alloy screws are Incoloy 800, 800H, 800HT; Incoloy 825; and Incoloy 925. For more indepth information on these specific grades, visit our specific web pages or contact one of our engineering experts:

Incoloy Vented Screw Features & Benefits
Incoloy vented screws are ideal for use in high vacuum (UV) and ultra high vacuum (UHV) equipment, as well as other high pressure environments and applications where gas pockets can form. Center vented screws have a center bore drilled through their axis from the head through the threaded shank of the screw. This feature provides an outlet for the complete evacuation of trapped air and gas contaminants to be pumped away from blind-tapped screw holes, bottoms, sides and shoulders. In addition to vented screws, washers with vent grooves can be made to ensure the venting of the cavity found under the screw head.
Incoloy Vented Screws Benefits
o Enables faster, more efficient pump-down of HV & UHV systems
o Eliminates virtual leaks
o Relieves pressure from blocked gases
o Provides means to vent contaminants found in screw voids
o Promotes higher system throughput and improved yield
o Allows for constant pressure and temperature equalization
Incoloy Vented Screws Are Available In:
Grades: Incoloy 800HT, Incoloy 825, and Incoloy 925
Styles: Socket Head Cap Screw and Hex Head Cap Screw
What is a vented washer?
When a screw is tightened over a flat washer, or directly an application without a washer, volumes of gas can be trapped in the space and beneath the fastener head along the screw shaft. Vented washers feature two bored canals on opposite sides of the flat face which provide an escape route for trapped gases.
What is a virtual leak?
A virtual leak is comprised of gases that are trapped physically within a pocket with only a miniscule escape path from the trapped pocket of gas into the chamber proper.
