Features:
Haynes 188 is a cobalt-based superalloy offering exceptional high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance. Key characteristics include: maintained mechanical stability at extreme temperatures up to 2200°F (1200°C); superior thermal fatigue and creep resistance; high tolerance to corrosive environments containing sulfides/chlorides; excellent fabricability and weldability for complex component manufacturing.
Applications:
This alloy is extensively used in aerospace applications (gas turbine blades, combustion chamber components), industrial gas turbine hot-section parts, high-temperature reactors in petrochemical equipment, nuclear system structural components, and medical device corrosion-resistant elements. Its thermal stability also makes it ideal for furnace linings and industrial heating elements in high-temperature processing environments.
