Product Description
Alloy Overview
Waspaloy (UNS designation N07001, W.Nr. 2.4654) is an age-hardenable, nickel-base superalloy designed for high-strength applications at temperatures up to $760^circtext{C}$ ($1400^circtext{F}$) and oxidation resistance up to $870^circtext{C}$ ($1600^circtext{F}$).
Solid-solution strengthened by molybdenum and cobalt, and precipitation-hardened by gamma-prime ($gamma'$) titanium and aluminum phases, Waspaloy exhibits exceptional creep-rupture strength, high fatigue resistance, and structural stability in thermal environments.
It is widely used in critical aerospace gas turbine hardware, heavy-duty industrial land-based gas turbines, rocket motor casings, and high-temperature fastener systems.
