The low thermal expansion characteristics of the most widely used class of materials are derived from the ferromagnetic characteristics of Ni, Fe, and Co-based austenitic matrices containing little or no Cr.Alloy developments have been aimed at improving the oxidation resistance and stress accelerated grain boundary oxygen (SAGBO) attack.INCONEL alloy 783 is an oxidation resistant, low coefficient of thermal expansion superalloy developed for gas turbine applications. Alloy 783 represents a culmination in the development, of an alloy system with very high alumtnum content that, in addition to forming γ′,causes βaluminide phase precipitation in the austenitic matrix.This type of structure can be processed to resist both SAGBO and general oxidation,while providing low thermal expansion and useful mechanical properties up to 700℃.Key aspects of the alloy's development are presented.展开更多

Emphasis in this type of work at ATI Allvac is directed at improving existing alloys and developing new alloys to meet ever-increasing industrial demands. The improvement of existing alloys is exemplified by addition of minor elements P and B in alloy 718. The discovery of the beneficial effect of P and B in wrought alloy 718 led to development of a new, modified alloy, AllvacH 718 ERR. A large effort has also been directed at studying the effects of major element modifications in 718-type alloys, and a new alloy, AllvacR 718PlusTM, has been developed. The new alloy has much better high temperature capability, especially thermal stability, approaching the level of Waspaloy but retains excellent processing characteristics, similar to alloy 718. Alloy 718PlusTM should be useful in any 718-type application requiring a higher working temperature. The properties and processing of this alloy are introduced in this paper.展开更多
