Nickel superalloy jet engine turbine blade A superalloy , or high-performance alloy , is an alloy with the ability to operate at a high fraction of its melting point. [ 1 ] Key characteristics of a superalloy include mechanical strength , thermal creep deformation resistance, surface stability, and corrosion and oxidation resistance.
Inconel Alloy 625 (UNS designation N06625) is a nickel-based superalloy that possesses high strength properties and resistance to elevated temperatures. It also demonstrates remarkable protection against corrosion and oxidation.
Inconel is a nickel-chromium-based superalloy often utilized in extreme environments where components are subjected to high temperature, pressure or mechanical loads. Inconel alloys are oxidation- and corrosion-resistant. When heated, Inconel forms a thick, stable, passivating oxide layer protecting the surface from further attack.
Waspaloy is an age-hardenable, nickel-based superalloy with excellent strength properties through temperatures of roughly 980°C (1800°F). Other characteristics of Waspaloy include good corrosion resistance, as well as being relatively impervious to oxidation making it well suited for service in extreme environments.
In nickel-based superalloys, regions of Ni 3 Al (called γ' phase) precipitate out of the nickel-rich matrix (called γ phase) to give high strength and creep resistance. Many alloy formulations are available and they usually include other elements, such as chromium, molybdenum, and iron, in order to improve various properties.
Incoloy products are mostly chromium-based and mostly nickel-based, and designed for corrosion resistance as well as strength at high temperatures. Incoloy alloys belong to the category of super austenitic stainless steels. [4] One advantage is that Incoloy alloys do not have to be heat treated after welding to restore the corrosion resistance.

Alloys of nickel are the most common but includes iron aluminum alloys. [1] Applications include high temperature turbine blades and heat exchanger tubing, [2] while steels are used in nuclear applications. [3] ODS materials are used on spacecraft to protect the vehicle, especially during re-entry. Noble metal ODS alloys, for example, platinum ...
