Alloy x750: Superior Performance at elevated temperatures

Written by admin | May 5, 2022 1:00:00 PM

Background

Often referred to as Inconel Alloy® X-750, this high-performance austenitic nickel-chromium alloy is made precipitation-hardenable by the addition of aluminum and titanium. It has good resistance to corrosion and oxidation along with high tensile and creep-rupture properties at high temperatures. For extended applications that require high strength at high temperatures, Alloy X-750 may require a solution treatment, with air cooling between intermediate and final aging.

Alloy X-750 displays excellent workability, including machinability and welding.  Alloy X-750 has excellent relaxation resistance, good elevated temperature strength properties to 1300ºF (700°C), and oxidation resistance to 1800ºF (983˚C). Lastly, Alloy X-750 is resistant to a wide variety of industrial corrosives under both oxidizing and reducing conditions, while also displaying excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking in fully age-hardened conditions.
