Material Selection Guide

When to consider HAYNES 188

This guide helps buyers connect service conditions with the typical advantage of Alloy 625. Final selection should consider medium concentration, temperature, pressure, fabrication, availability and budget.

Service Requirement Recommended Alloy Reason for Selection Buyer Note
Long-term load-bearing service above 650 °C HAYNES 188 Provides strong creep and stress-rupture performance as a solid-solution-strengthened alloy. Design from time-, temperature- and stress-specific creep data.
Gas-turbine combustion hardware HAYNES 188 Combines oxidation resistance, fatigue performance, strength and sheet fabricability. Confirm thermal cycling, combustion chemistry and required design life.
Improved thermal stability and oxidation performance HAYNES 230 Alloy 230 may offer improved phase stability and performance in newer engine designs. Compare creep strength, oxidation data, forming and procurement requirements.
Established cobalt alloy with lower tungsten content HAYNES 25 Alloy 25 remains useful for selected high-temperature and wear-related applications. HAYNES 188 generally provides better oxidation resistance and thermal stability.
Nickel-base fabricated furnace or aerospace component HASTELLOY X Provides established oxidation resistance, weldability and nickel-base fabrication practice. Compare creep strength and hot-corrosion conditions before substitution.
Maximum oxidation resistance with limited structural loading HAYNES 214 Its aluminum-rich protective scale can provide exceptional oxidation resistance. Mechanical loading, thermal cycling and fabrication requirements must also be reviewed.

FAQ

HAYNES 188 questions from buyers

Find practical answers about procurement, standards, fabrication and industrial applications.

HAYNES 188 is primarily used for gas-turbine combustion cans, transition ducts, flame holders, afterburner components, exhaust systems, high-temperature aerospace hardware and industrial furnace fabrications.

Yes. UNS R30188 is the standardized UNS designation for HAYNES 188, a cobalt-nickel-chromium-tungsten solid-solution-strengthened superalloy.

The alloy is particularly effective for long-term load-bearing applications above approximately 650 °C. It can provide oxidation resistance during continuous exposure in air or combustion gases up to about 1095 °C, but allowable temperature depends on load, atmosphere, section thickness and design life.

Both alloys provide high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance. HAYNES 188 is cobalt based and has an extensive history in gas-turbine combustors, while HAYNES 230 is nickel based and may offer improved thermal stability and oxidation performance in selected newer applications.

YSN128 can quote sheet, plate, strip, round bar, rod, wire, forgings and matching welding wire. Drawing-based tubes, fasteners, fittings and flanges can also be discussed for custom fabricated projects.

AMS 5608 covers sheet, plate and strip; AMS 5772 covers billet, rod, bar and forgings; and AMS 5801 covers matching bare welding rod and wire. MMPDS 6.4.2 provides aerospace design-data references.

Yes. HAYNES 188 can be welded by GTAW, GMAW, electron-beam and resistance-welding processes using matching filler metal. Submerged-arc welding is generally not recommended because its high heat input and slow cooling can promote restraint and cracking.

Please send the UNS or alloy grade, product form, dimensions, quantity, applicable AMS specification, delivery condition, operating temperature, design load, inspection requirements, certificate type and destination. Drawings and welding requirements should be supplied for finished components.
