A new nickel superalloy

March 23, 2006
To help electric companies generate fewer greenhouse-gas emissions, alloy producers have been developing nickelbased superalloys.

Haynes 282 alloy, wrought gammaprime strengthened superalloy, is a candidate for components used in land-based turbines used in power generation.


These materials let land-based turbines run hotter and, thus, generate electricity more efficiently. Hotter combustion also helps keep ozone-depleting emissions in check.

Haynes International Inc., Kokomo, Ind., for example, has developed an advanced, wrought gammaprime strengthened superalloy called Haynes 282. It stands up well to strain-age cracking, a problem common to many gamma-prime strengthened alloys. The 58Ni-19Cr-10Co-8.5Mo-1.5Al-2.1Ti alloy is also a candidate for aircraft manufacturing and other high-performance, high-temperature environments. Reports indicate the alloy is stronger in creep strength than N07001 (Waspaloy) and approaches the creep strength of N07041 (Haynes R-41) at temperatures as high as 1,650°F (900°C). Further, the 282 alloy is easier to weld and fabricate compared to Waspaloy and R-41 alloys.
