High-Temperature Resistant HASTELLOY S Rod for Aerospace Applications
HASTELLOY S rod (UNS N06635) is a high-performance nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy renowned for its exceptional strength, thermal stability, and resistance to oxidation and corrosion in high-temperature environments. Developed primarily for aerospace applications, it is widely utilized in gas turbine engines, power generation, and chemical processing industries.
HASTELLOY S rod offers outstanding thermal stability and low thermal expansion, making it ideal for components subjected to severe thermal cycling. It maintains excellent oxidation resistance up to 2000°F (1093°C) and retains strength and ductility after prolonged exposure to temperatures ranging from 800°F to 1600°F (427°C to 871°C). This alloy is particularly suitable for applications requiring materials that can withstand severe cyclical heating conditions while maintaining structural integrity.
