Nickel Waspaloy AMS 5586

AMS 5586 is the aerospace material specification covering Waspaloy (UNS N07001) welded tubing supplied annealed. The tube is made from consumable-electrode or vacuum-induction melted strip. After aging it offers the alloy’s high-temperature strength and resistance to combustion-gas oxidation.

What defines AMS 5586 is that it is the only tubular Waspaloy specification. The tube is formed and seam-welded from strip, not pierced and drawn, which gives uniform wall thickness in thin gauges. Because it’s delivered annealed, it can be bent, flared, swaged or beaded before the final solution, stabilization and aging treatment.

Typical AMS 5586 applications:

• Hot-section pneumatic and bleed-air lines in gas turbines
• Thermocouple and instrumentation probe sheaths
• Formed tubular supports, spacers and heat-shield components

Joints in tube assemblies are made by controlled gas-tungsten-arc welding with matching filler, followed by re-solution treatment and aging.

For matching Waspaloy filler metal, see AMS 5828 welding wire.
