Waspaloy Round / Waspaloy Flat / Waspaloy Forged Bars

Product Description

Structural Differentiators

1. Waspaloy Round Bars

Round stock is typically chosen when the priority is machinability and automated component production (such as CNC screw-machining of aerospace-grade fasteners). It is generally supplied in the solution-treated condition to minimize tool wear before receiving its final multi-stage aging bake (1550°F stabilization + 1400°F precipitation aging).

2. Waspaloy Flat Bars

Flat configurations are engineered for structural containment and perimeter framing. They eliminate the material waste and extensive machining time that would be required to mill rectangular engine blocks or spacers out of large round stock.

3. Waspaloy Forged Bars

Forged bars undergo severe plastic deformation that mechanically eliminates micro-porosity and refines the internal grain architecture. This provides superior dynamic fatigue life and impact toughness compared to raw rolled bar stock, making it the mandatory choice for critical rotating components like gas turbine discs and shafts.
