PRINCIPAL FEATURESExcellent High-TemperatureStrength and GoodOxidation ResistanceHAYNES ® <strong>25</strong> <strong>alloy</strong> is a cobaltnickel-chromium-tungsten<strong>alloy</strong> that combines excellenthigh-temperature strength withgood resistance to oxidizingenvironments up to 1800°F(980°C) for prolonged exposures,and excellent resistanceto sulfidation. It can befabricated and formed byconventional techniques, andhas been used for cast components.Other attractivefeatures include excellentresistance to metal galling.FabricationHAYNES <strong>25</strong> <strong>alloy</strong> has goodforming and welding characteristics.It may be forged orotherwise hot-worked, providingthat it is held at 2200°F(1205°C) for a time sufficientto bring the entire piece totemperature. The <strong>alloy</strong> hasgood ductility, and thus alsomay be formed by cold working.The <strong>alloy</strong> does workhardenvery rapidly, however,so frequent intermediateannealing treatments will beneeded for complex componentforming operations. All hot- orcold-worked parts should beannealed and rapidly cooled inorder to restore the best balanceof properties. The <strong>alloy</strong>can be welded by both manualand automatic welding methods,including gas tungsten arc(GTAW), gas metal arc(GMAW), shielded metal arc,electron beam and resistancewelding. It exhibits goodrestraint welding characteristics.Heat TreatmentWrought HAYNES <strong>25</strong> <strong>alloy</strong> isfurnished in the solution heattreatedcondition, unlessotherwise specified. The <strong>alloy</strong>is normally solution heat-treatedat 2150 to 2<strong>25</strong>0°F (1175 to1230°C) and rapidly cooled orwater-quenched for optimalproperties. Annealing attemperatures less than thesolution heat-treating temperaturewill produce some carbideprecipitation in <strong>25</strong> <strong>alloy</strong>, whichmay affect the <strong>alloy</strong>’s properties.Available in Convenient FormsHAYNES <strong>25</strong> <strong>alloy</strong> is producedin the form of plate, sheet,strip, billet, bar, wire, coatedelectrodes, pipe and tubing.ApplicationsHAYNES <strong>25</strong> <strong>alloy</strong> combinesproperties which make itsuitable for a number ofcomponent applications in theaerospace industry, includingparts in established militaryand commercial gas turbineengines. In modern engines, ithas largely been replaced bynewer materials such asHAYNES 188 <strong>alloy</strong>, and, mostrecently, 230 ® <strong>alloy</strong>, whichpossess improved properties.Another area of significantusage for <strong>25</strong> <strong>alloy</strong> is as abearing material, for both ballsand races.Applicable SpecificationsHAYNES <strong>25</strong> <strong>alloy</strong> is coveredby the following specifications:AMS 5537 (sheet, strip andplate), AMS 5759 (bar, ringsand forgings), AMS 5796(welding wire), and AMS 5797(coated welding electrodes).The UNS number for thismaterial is R30605.Nominal Chemical Composition, Weight PercentCo a Ni Cr W Fe Mn Si C51 10 20 15 3* 1.5 0.4* 0.10a*MaximumAs balance3HAYNES ® <strong>25</strong> <strong>alloy</strong>
