Principal Features

HAYNES® Waspaloy alloy (UNS N07001) is an age-hardenable, nickel-based superalloy with very good strength at temperatures up to about 1800°F (980°C). It is widely used as a wrought material for forged and fabricated gas turbine and aerospace components. Its strength is generally comparable to HAYNES® R-41 alloy, and is superior to that of alloy 718 at temperatures above 1200-1300°F (650-705°C). Waspaloy alloy can be cold-formed in the annealed condition, and may also be hot-formed at temperatures of 1900°F (1040°C) or above. Weldability us somewhat limited by susceptibility to strain age cracking under conditions of heavy restraint. The alloy exhibits good resistance to gas turbine combustion environments at temperatures up to about 1600°F (870°C).  Waspaloy alloy is now being replaced in many applications by HAYNES® 282® alloy, due to the superior fabricability and creep-strength of 282® alloy.

Heat Treatment

Wrought HAYNES® Waspaloy alloy is furnished in the solution annealed condition unless otherwise specified. After component fabrication, the alloy would normally again be solution annealed at 1950 to 2000°F (1066 to 1093°C) for a time commensurate with section thickness and rapidly cooled or water-quenched for optimal properties. Following solution annealing, the alloy is given a three-step age-hardening treatment to optimize the microstructure and induce age-hardening. The first step is 1825°F (996°C) for 2 hours followed by air cooling. The second step is 1550°F (843°C) for 4 hours followed by air cooling.  The final step is 1400°F (760°C) for 16 hours followed by air cooling.

Dynamic Oxidation Testing (Burner Rig)

Burner rig oxidation tests were conducted by exposing, in a rotating holder, samples 0.375 inch x 2.5 inches x thickness (9.5mm x 64mm x thickness) to the products of combustion of fuel oil (2 parts No. 1 and 1 part No. 2), burned at an air to fuel ratio of about 50:1. The gas velocity was about 0.3 mach. Samples were automatically removed from the gas stream every 30 minutes and fan cooled to less than 500°F (260°C) and then reinserted into the flame tunnel.

Welding

For welding HAYNES® Waspaloy alloy, please review the General Welding and Joining Guidelines.  In addition to those guidelines, there are some additional considerations when welding Waspaloy alloy.

HAYNES® Waspaloy alloy is a precipitation-strengthened alloy and requires a postweld heat treatment (PWHT) to develop suitable properties.  Postweld heat treatment for Waspaloy alloy consists of two parts:  a solution anneal, which is followed by a three-step aging treatment.  Details can be found here .  During PWHT, the gamma-prime phase (Ni3Al,Ti) precipitates and the alloy undergoes a slight volumetric contraction.  This makes it susceptible to strain-age cracking, which typically occurs upon heating to the solution annealing temperature.  To inhibit strain-age cracking, the heating rate to the solution annealing temperature should be as fast as possible, within the capability of the furnace being used.

Filler metal of matching composition is suggested for welding Waspaloy alloy to itself.  For filler metal suggestions for welding Waspaloy alloy to other alloys, please refer to the Haynes Welding SmartGuide, or contact Haynes International for further guidance.
