- High-Temperature Strength:
Inconel X-750 wire /N 07750/2.4669 maintains high tensile, creep, and rupture strength at elevated temperatures (up to ~980°C or 1800°F), making it suitable for long-term service in extreme conditions.
The alloy is commonly used in applications where high stress and thermal fatigue are present, such as in gas turbines, steam turbines, and industrial furnaces.
- Oxidation and Corrosion Resistance:
Excellent resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, especially in environments containing sulfur or other corrosive gases.
Provides resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments, including those containing acids, alkalis, and seawater.
One of the key properties of Inconel X-750 wire /N 07750/2.4669 is its ability to resist deformation under mechanical stress at high temperatures. This makes it ideal for turbine blades and other high-stress components that need to maintain their shape and integrity under thermal cycling.
- Weldability and Fabricability:
Inconel X-750 wire /N 07750/2.4669 can be welded using most conventional welding techniques, including TIG, MIG, and gas welding. It is also suitable for brazing and forming.
It is highly weldable, with the proper techniques, and can be heat-treated for additional strength and stress relief.
- Strengthening Mechanisms:
The alloy achieves its high-temperature strength through a combination of solid solution strengthening and precipitation hardening, which are achieved via the controlled addition of aluminum, titanium, and other elements.
