TURBINE BLADES AND DISCS
In high-temperature turbine applications, blade and disc materials must exhibit exceptional strength, fatigue resistance, and creep properties. Nickel-based superalloys maximize operational efficiency and reliability by providing superior thermal stability and mechanical integrity.
FEATURED MATERIALS
INCONEL 720
Nickel-chromium-cobalt-based superalloy strengthened by gamma prime (γ’) precipitates, specifically engineered for high-temperature applications requiring exceptional creep resistance, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance in aggressive environments. Developed for aerospace and industrial gas turbine components, it outperforms many conventional superalloys in extreme thermal and mechanical stress conditions.
INCONEL 718
Engineered to deliver breakthrough mechanical performance, this nickel-based superalloy combines unparalleled yield strength, ultimate tensile capacity, and creep-rupture resistance across extreme temperature ranges, while maintaining exceptional welding compatibility and multi-environment corrosion resilience.
COMPRESSORS&COMBUSTORS
In compressor systems, blades and discs endure intense loading forces, while combustor components face extreme thermal and chemical attack. High-strength nickel-based alloys with superior creep and fatigue resistance are essential for reliable performance. Parts must be manufactured to exact dimensional requirements to ensure stability in high-stress operating environments.
FEATURED MATERIALS
INCONEL 625
Nickel-based Inconel 625 is a non-magnetic alloy renowned for its corrosion and oxidation resistance across a broad temperature spectrum from cryogenic conditions to 2000°F (1093°C). Its exceptional strength and toughness in this extreme range arise primarily from solid-solution strengthening by refractory metals niobium and molybdenum within a nickel-chromium matrix. The alloy demonstrates superior fatigue resistance and exhibits immunity to chloride-induced stress-corrosion cracking.
309
As an austenitic modification of 304 stainless steel, 309 offers enhanced heat resistance through elevated chromium and nickel concentrations. While its corrosion protection slightly exceeds 304 levels, its key advantage lies in superior creep strength versus straight chromium alloys. Type 309 maintains structural integrity against oxidation at temperatures as high as 2000°F (1093°C) during prolonged operation.
IMPELLERS
Compared to cast parts, AM produced impellers offer enhanced material performance and accelerated manufacturing timelines. This allows for faster deployment, reduced production halts, and improved supply chain efficiency in inventory-sensitive operations.
