Background of Waspalloy • Developed by NASA on their power recovery turbine blades. • Nickel based alloy used in high heat/stress situations: • jet-turbine machinery • hot gas expanders • high temp. seals. • Extremely resistant to corrosion by combustion products, up to 1600°F.
Micro Structure • Vacuum Induction Melting: VIM • Reduced levels of nitrogen and oxygen • Allows for better control of Titanium and Aluminum alloying • Increases forgeability • Produced in cast and wrought forms • FCC structure
Properties • Specific Gravity- • Waspalloy - 8.25 • Steel - 7.83 • Titanium - 4.55 • Composition- • 57% Ni 19.5% Cr • 13.5% Co 4.3% Mo • 2% Fe (max) 1.4% Al • 3% Ti .07% C • .006% B .09% Zr • Waspalloy retains its original composition until 1400°F while steel falls off @ 800°F
