Haynes 25 Product Description

Overview

Haynes 25 is a solid-solution-strengthened cobalt–chromium–tungsten–nickel alloy — the strongest of the fabricable cobalt-base alloys — combining excellent high-temperature strength with good oxidation resistance to about 980 °C (1800 °F) and outstanding resistance to sulfidation, wear and galling. This datasheet presents the material within the trade-name designation system.

The cobalt base with 20% chromium provides oxidation and hot-corrosion resistance, while 15% tungsten gives solid-solution strengthening and 10% nickel improves fabricability and stability of the face-centred-cubic structure. The alloy is non-magnetic, retains useful strength to about 1000 °C, and resists metal galling and wear. It work-hardens very rapidly, so frequent intermediate annealing is recommended for complex forming. It is normally melted by vacuum induction melting followed by electroslag remelting (ESR).

Because of its long and widespread use it is an exceptionally well-characterised material. Typical applications include gas-turbine combustor and hot-section components, aerospace and industrial turbine hardware, and — at surgical-implant quality (ASTM F90) — orthopaedic and cardiovascular implants. It is supplied solution-heat-treated (2150–2250 °F, rapid quench); high strength can also be developed by cold work, in which condition it remains non-magnetic.

2. Chemical Composition (Limiting, wt %)

Limiting composition per AMS 5537 (UNS R30605).

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Cobalt Co Balance Base element; high-temperature strength + wear/galling resistance
Chromium Cr 19.0 21.0 Oxidation + sulfidation + hot-corrosion resistance
Tungsten W 14.0 16.0 Solid-solution strengthening
Nickel Ni 9.0 11.0 Fabricability; FCC structure stability
Manganese Mn 1.0 2.0 Deoxidiser
Iron Fe 3.0 Residual
Carbon C 0.05 0.15 Carbide strengthening
Silicon Si 1.0 Deoxidiser
Phosphorus P 0.03 Residual impurity
Sulphur S 0.03 Residual impurity

3. Mechanical Properties

Typical room-temperature properties, solution-annealed condition.

Property Value Source
Ultimate tensile strength ~1000 MPa Solution-annealed (sheet/bar/plate)
0.2% proof strength (yield) ~475–505 MPa Solution-annealed
Elongation at break ~55–60 % Solution-annealed
Hardness ~240–280 HB Solution-annealed

The alloy work-hardens very rapidly and can be substantially strengthened by cold work, remaining non-magnetic in the cold-worked condition. It retains good strength to elevated temperatures. Values are typical; confirm against the mill test certificate for each delivery.

4. Oxidation and High-Temperature Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
High-temperature oxidation Good To ~980–1095 °C; Cr₂O₃ scale
Sulfidation Outstanding Key advantage of cobalt base
Wear / galling Outstanding Cobalt base resists metal galling
High-temperature strength Excellent Strongest fabricable cobalt alloy; useful to ~1000 °C
Hot corrosion Very Good Marine / combustion environments
Body-fluid corrosion (implant) Excellent ASTM F90 surgical-implant quality
Metallurgical stability Caution Loses room-temp ductility after long mid-temperature exposure (like other superalloys)

5. Heat Treatment

A solid-solution cobalt-base alloy; strengthened by solid solution and carbides (and by cold work). Heat treatment is solution annealing.

Solution Anneal Temperature: 1177–1232 °C (2150–2250 °F), followed by rapid air or water quench Purpose: dissolves carbides, restores ductility and develops optimum properties.

Forming note: the alloy work-hardens very rapidly, so frequent intermediate solution anneals are recommended for complex or multi-stage forming. Hot working is carried out from ~1205 °C (2200 °F).

6. Weldability and Joining

Readily welded by most conventional methods — gas-tungsten-arc (GTAW), gas-metal-arc (GMAW), shielded-metal-arc (SMAW), electron-beam and resistance welding. Welding behaviour is similar to Haynes 188. Submerged-arc welding is not recommended (high heat input and slow cooling promote cracking).

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG · GMAW / MIG Excellent AMS 5796 matching wire (UNS W73605)
SMAW / stick Good AMS 5797 coated electrode
EB / resistance Good

Use matching-composition filler. Keep joints clean; avoid submerged-arc welding.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Work hardening Very rapid; rigid setup, sharp tooling, positive rake, low speeds
Intermediate anneal Frequent solution anneals for complex forming
Coolant Ample flood coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Hot working From ~1205 °C (2200 °F)
Cold forming Possible but work-hardens rapidly; intermediate anneals needed
Solution anneal 1177–1232 °C, rapid quench, to restore ductility

8. Applications
