Cobalt Haynes 188
Haynes 188 is a high-performance cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy designed for exceptional strength and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. The alloy maintains mechanical integrity under extreme thermal exposure, making it well suited for aerospace, gas turbine, and high-temperature industrial applications.
This alloy offers outstanding resistance to oxidation, thermal fatigue, and hot corrosion, particularly in environments involving high heat and cyclic temperature loading. Haynes 188 is non-magnetic and retains strength at temperatures where many nickel and stainless alloys begin to lose performance.
Applications of Haynes 188
Haynes® 188 is commonly used in demanding environments such as:
- Aerospace hot-section components
- Gas turbine engines and exhaust systems
- Combustion liners and transition ducts
- High-temperature structural assemblies
- Industrial furnace and thermal processing equipment
Its ability to maintain strength and resist oxidation at elevated temperatures makes it a preferred choice for extreme service conditions.
