Nickel-Based Wrought Superalloys
Nickel-based wrought superalloys are a class of high-performance materials designed for exceptional mechanical strength, creep resistance, and structural stability at elevated temperatures, typically above 540°C (1000°F). The term “wrought” signifies that these alloys are shaped into their final form through thermomechanical processes such as forging, rolling, or extrusion, which results in a fine, directional grain structure that provides superior tensile and fatigue properties compared to their cast counterparts.
They are the backbone of high-temperature rotating components in aerospace and power generation, where failure is not an option.
