Supersolvus Low Carbon Astroloy - view pdf
P/M Low Carbon Astroloy offers good ductility and oxidation resistance in addition to excellent strength at high temperatures. It is available as near net shape and standard mill forms consolidated by HIP or direct extrusion. As-HIP parts can range up to 46 inches (1.2m) in diameter and weights up to 16,000 lb (7,200 kg).
Advantages:
  • A balance of high strength and ductility
  • Supersolvus processing for enhanced creep resistance and stress rupture life

    Rene 95 - view pdf
    P/M Rene 95 is a high strength, high temperature alloy used for rotating jet turbine components worldwide. It is one of the highest strength alloys available for service in the range of 800°F to 1200°F (425°C to 650°C). The alloy also provides excellent high temperature creep resistance and low cycle fatigue life. Tens of thousands of high pressure turbine disks and turbine blade retainers made from Crucible Rene 95 are in service on commercial and military airplanes and helicopters worldwide.
    Advantages:
  • High Strength
  • Excellent high temperature creep resistance
  • Extended low cycle fatigue life

    Supersolvus Rene 95 - view pdf
    Supersolvus P/M Rene 95 provides even higher temperature creep and stress rupture resistance than standard Rene 95. It is designed to provide even higher temperature creep resistance and stress rupture strength than subsolvus Rene 95. Chemistry is not modified. These properties are obtained by processing above the gamma prime solvus to provide a larger grain size than subsolvus processed Rene 95. Although this results in a small reduction in room temperature and elevated temperature strength, substantial ductility is maintained and considerably higher temperature service is possible. The primary use of supersolvus Rene 95 is for high pressure turbine blade retainers for high thrust aircraft turbines. This material can also be used for hot work tooling where ferrous based tool steels cannot maintain adequate strength.
    Advantages:
  • Higher temperature creep resistance and stress rupture strength than standard Rene 95
  • Larger grain size than standard Rene 95
