Every order of Alloy 400 ships with a complete set of original Mill Test Reports, with traceability not only to the manufacturer but to the origin of the material.
Nominally 63% minimum nickel with 28–34% copper and small additions of iron and manganese, giving a single-phase solid-solution alloy.
In-house certified technicians and a qualitative specification-assurance process that is second to none back every shipment leaving our Houston facility.
For the a dense industrial and pipeline network, material selection is not a place to cut corners. Alloy 400 (UNS N04400) delivers the performance that Chicago’s refining and heavy manufacturing operators depend on, and P.A. Inc. keeps it on the shelf — ready for fast delivery across Illinois.
What makes Alloy 400 the right specification is straightforward: excellent resistance to seawater and high-velocity brackish water and resists hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids across a range of concentrations. For Chicago operators, that translates into longer service life, fewer unplanned outages, and predictable behavior during the thermal and chemical cycling their processes put material through.
Our Chicago customers put Alloy 400 to work across the demanding end of process service: marine and offshore seawater piping systems, hydrofluoric acid alkylation units, valve, pump and shaft components in chemical service, and feedwater and steam-generator heaters. Because P.A. Inc. fabricates locally in Houston, we can turn butt-weld fittings, flanges, and custom spools to the exact schedule and end-prep a Chicago turnaround crew needs — and deliver to Joliet, Lemont, and Hammond and the surrounding region without the freight time of pulling material from out of state.
For Chicago buyers working to tight ASME and API documentation standards, paperwork matters as much as metal. That’s why every order of Alloy 400 ships with complete, original Mill Test Reports and full heat traceability — backed by a service center that answers the phone around the clock.
If your Chicago operation needs Alloy 400 Pipe & Fittings — whether it’s a single spool for an emergency repair or a full material package for a planned outage — call P.A. Inc. at 713-570-4900 for pricing, availability, and certified documentation.
