Material Type |
superalloy |
Main Composition |
Primarily iron, with alloying elements like chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), molybdenum (Mo), etc. |
Temperature Resistance |
Designed to withstand high temperatures, typically up to 650°C-1000°C (varies depending on alloy composition). |
Properties |
High strength, oxidation and corrosion resistance, and thermal stability under elevated temperatures. |
Common Forms |
Strips, plates, sheets, foils. |
Applications |
Turbines, jet engines, heat exchangers, industrial furnaces, power plants, and other high-temperature environments. |
Fabrication Techniques |
Can be cold-rolled, hot-rolled, or heat-treated for different forms and applications. |
Thickness Range (Strips) |
0.1 mm to 3 mm (typically). |
Thickness Range (Plates) |
3 mm to 100 mm or more (depending on the grade and specifications). |
Heat Treatment |
Solution treatment, aging, or quenching to enhance properties like strength and resistance. |
Corrosion Resistance |
Enhanced corrosion resistance, especially in high-temperature environments. |
Common Grades |
Hastelloy, Inconel, Incoloy, etc. (specific alloys depend on the application and temperature requirement). |
