2.4654 Product Description

Overview

2.4654 is a nickel-base, age-hardenable superalloy with excellent high-temperature strength and good resistance to oxidation and hot corrosion, used at service temperatures up to about 650 °C (1200 °F) for critical rotating applications and to higher temperatures for static parts. This datasheet presents the material within the European (EN / Werkstoff-Nummer / ISO / AECMA) standard system.

Strength is derived from a combination of solid-solution strengthening (molybdenum, cobalt, chromium) and precipitation of the gamma-prime [Ni₃(Al,Ti)] phase developed during age hardening. The result is excellent strength and stability through temperatures of roughly 980 °C (1800 °F), with good corrosion resistance and resistance to oxidation and to the hot corrosion that results from combustion by-products in gas turbines and jet engines. Its strength and stability exceed those typically available from alloy 718, though it is more expensive and more difficult to hot-work and weld owing to γ′ strengthening.

It is heat-treated in a three-step sequence (solution treatment, stabilisation and aging). Typical applications are critical rotating gas-turbine and jet-engine components — compressor and turbine blades, discs, hubs, shafts, bolts, rings and spacers — requiring high strength to about 816 °C (1500 °F) and oxidation resistance to about 954 °C (1750 °F).

Oxidation Excellent To ~954 °C (1750 °F)
Hot corrosion Good Resists gas-turbine combustion by-products
General corrosion Good High Ni-Cr base

Rotating-component fatigue Excellent Key for discs/blades/shafts

5. Heat Treatment

A precipitation-hardening nickel-base superalloy. Strength is developed by a three-step sequence (solution treatment, stabilisation, aging).

A. For optimum high-temperature creep and stress-rupture properties Solution treatment: 1080 °C (1975 °F) / 4 h / air cool (hardness 20–25 HRC) Stabilisation: 845 °C (1550 °F) / 24 h / air cool Age harden: 760 °C (1400 °F) / 16 h / air cool (hardness 34–40 HRC)

B. For optimum room- and high-temperature tensile properties Solution treatment: 995–1035 °C (1825–1895 °F) / 4 h / oil quench Stabilisation: 845 °C (1550 °F) / 4 h / air cool Age harden: 760 °C / 16 h / air cool

Welding should be carried out before final aging owing to γ′ strain-age cracking susceptibility.

6. Weldability and Joining

As a γ′-strengthened superalloy, Waspaloy is more difficult to weld than alloy 718 and is susceptible to strain-age cracking; it should be welded in the solution-treated (non-aged) condition, with aging applied afterwards. GTAW with matching filler is typical.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Possible (solution-treated; care for strain-age cracking) EN ISO matching Ni-Cr-Co filler (solution-treated base)
Resistance / EB Specialised

Minimise restraint and heat input; post-weld solution + age to restore properties. Hot working and welding are more demanding than for alloy 718.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Preferred condition Machine solution-treated where possible; finish after aging
Work hardening High; rigid setup, sharp carbide tooling, low speeds
Hot working More difficult than alloy 718 (γ′ strengthening)
Coolant Ample flood coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Hot working Demanding; controlled temperature range
Cold forming Limited; high work-hardening rate
Final aging Three-step HT after forming/machining
