Hastelloy X per AMS 5536 Nickel Alloy Sheet & Plate
AMS 5536 is the aerospace material specification covering Hastelloy X (Alloy X) in sheet, coil, and plate forms. This nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum alloy combines high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and excellent fabricability. It performs reliably at temperatures up to 2200 °F (1200 °C), making it one of the most widely used materials for gas turbine and furnace components.
Hastelloy X owes its strength and stability to solid-solution strengthening and molybdenum stiffening within its nickel matrix. The alloy also demonstrates remarkable ductility after long-term exposure at high temperatures, retaining its mechanical integrity in demanding service environments.
These characteristics make Hastelloy X per AMS 5536 a proven choice for aerospace, power generation, and industrial heat-treating applications where oxidation and thermal stress are critical design factors.
