Technical Information for Waspaloy per AMS 5706
Waspaloy, according to the AMS 5706 standard, refers to a super alloy with a base component of nickel and other alloying agents like chromium, cobalt, and molybdenum, with controlled amounts of aluminum and titanium. The alloy offers superior strength at high temperatures, with top-tier properties and oxidation/corrosion resistance. The alloy is used to make bars, forgings, and forging stock, which are solution and precipitation heat-treated and ready for application in aircraft parts and components used in turbine engines.
Waspaloy, according to the AMS 5706 standard, offers superior mechanical properties when used in aircraft and engine parts, with the alloy offering top-tier strength at high temperatures and oxidation/corrosion resistance when used within a temperature range of up to 1200°F (650°C) for rotating parts and up to 1600°F (870°C) for static structural parts.
Typical Applications of AMS 5706
Waspaloy per AMS 5706 is widely used in aerospace propulsion systems, turbine engines, and defense hardware, including:
- Turbine and compressor discs
- Shafts, seals, and spacers
- Rings and casings
- High-temperature fasteners
- Missile and airframe structural parts
What is WASPALOY ?
WASPALOY is a nickel-based super alloy with notable properties for its strength at high temperature, combined with oxidation and creep resistance. It is used for the extreme conditions found within aerospace and industrial gas turbines and retains strength and stability up to a temperature of 1200°F (650°C). It is one of the best materials for rotating and supporting structures within gas turbines.
