The ONE. The ONLY. @donnie_marple AT @rogersplace 🇨🇦 w/ @leebrice . The ORIGINAL Worlds 1st INconel Alloy. ALL details ONLY at AcoutinCustom.com {Link In Bio}
The BEST of the BEST • The Nickel-IRON alloy. In similar fashion to what defines every Acoutin Custom snare drum, it’s all in the Weight, Density and the Alloy’s composition in distinct & exotic metals that make this material exceptional in the application of percussive arts.
After years of testing and researching various Nickel, Iron, Chromium & Molybdenum based alloys it was only a matter of time till the release of The Nickel Iron alloy in March of 2024. The Nickel Iron is Vibrant and Punctual in every last note with a touch of Dryness & Warmth to round out its beautiful sonic character.
The Nickel Iron alloy is the benchmark in my education of what creates such a distinctive material for refined musical expression within the world of hand crafted drums. I have worked with superalloys such as INconel alloy 718 & INconel alloy 600 since 2019 and 304 Stainless since 2010. The Nickel Iron alloy presents the hand selection of 316L Stainless - a low carbon, austenitic (Chromium-Nickel) alloy with the defined addition of Molybdenum stabilization and increased percentages in both Nickel & Chromium content. The Nickel Iron alloy is the literal process of tuning a drum shell directly by its Chemical Composition.

The Chemical Composition
* Chromium (Cr): 18%, provides corrosion resistance by forming a passive layer on the surface. Additionally increases strength & hardenability.
* Nickel (Ni): 14%, contributes to ductility and corrosion resistance. Significantly enhances strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance, particularly in high-temperature and demanding environments. Nickel improves ductility and formability. Nickel acts as an austenite stabilizer, which maintains structure and properties.
* Molybdenum (Mo): 3%, further enhances corrosion resistance, especially in chloride environments and against pitting. Additionally enhances strength, toughness, and ability to withstand high temperatures.
* Manganese (Mn): 2%, improves strength and hardenability.
* Silicon (Si): 0.75%, enhances oxidation resistance.
* Carbon (C): 0.030%, contributes to corrosion resistance.
* Phosphorus (P): 0.045%, improves machinability.
* Sulfur (S): 0.030%, improves machinability and reduces corrosion resistance.
* Nitrogen (N): 0.10%, improves strength and corrosion resistance.
* Iron (Fe): 62.045%, The base metal, making up the majority of the composition.
