### **Product Introduction: Alloy WE132 / INCONEL WE132 Strip** **Alloy WE132 (INCONEL® WE132) Strip** refers to the cold-rolled, thin-gauge, and narrow-width form of the renowned nickel-chromium superalloy, **INCONEL 718**. The "WE132" designation is historically linked to its welding electrode version, but the strip product is supplied to the stringent chemical and mechanical specifications of INCONEL 718. This product is characterized by its precise dimensional tolerances, excellent surface finish, and superior mechanical properties achieved through a controlled cold-rolling and thermal treatment process. It is the ideal material for high-precision components where exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and reliability are required in a thin, formable section. --- #### **Key Features & Advantages** * **High Strength in Thin Sections:** Capable of achieving very high tensile and yield strength even in ultra-thin gauges, perfect for weight-saving designs. * **Precision Dimensional Tolerances:** Cold-rolled to meet exacting thickness, width, and flatness specifications for automated manufacturing. * **Excellent Surface Finish:** Supplied with a uniform, smooth surface ideal for critical applications and subsequent plating or coating. * **Superb Formability and Spring Properties:** Can be readily stamped, blanked, and formed in the annealed state, and then age-hardened to achieve high spring resilience and permanent set resistance. * **Outstanding Corrosion & Heat Resistance:** Inherits the excellent resistance of alloy 718 to oxidation, corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking. * **Good Weldability:** Can be welded using all standard methods with minimal risk of post-weld cracking. --- #### **Chemical Composition (Typical Weight %)** The composition is meticulously controlled to ensure consistent performance and is identical to the sheet and plate forms. | Element | Content (%) | Element | Content (%) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Nickel (Ni)** | 50 - 55 | **Molybdenum (Mo)** | 2.8 - 3.3 | | **Chromium (Cr)** | 17 - 21 | **Aluminum (Al)** | 0.2 - 0.8 | | **Iron (Fe)** | Balance | **Titanium (Ti)** | 0.65 - 1.15 | | **Niobium (Nb)** | 4.75 - 5.5 | **Carbon (C)** | ≤ 0.08 | | **Manganese (Mn)** | ≤ 0.35 | **Silicon (Si)** | ≤ 0.35 | | **Cobalt (Co)** | ≤ 1.0 | **Sulfur (S)** | ≤ 0.015 | | **Boron (B)** | ≤ 0.006 | **Copper (Cu)** | ≤ 0.30 | --- #### **Physical Properties** | Property | Metric Unit | Imperial Unit | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Density** | 8.19 g/cm³ | 0.296 lb/in³ | | **Melting Range** | 1260 - 1336 °C | 2300 - 2440 °F | | **Specific Heat (20°C)** | 435 J/kg·K | 0.104 Btu/lb·°F | | **Thermal Conductivity** | 11.4 W/m·K (100°C) | 79 Btu·in/hr·ft²·°F (212°F) | | **Thermal Expansion Coefficient** | 13.0 μm/m·°C (20-100°C) | 7.2 x10⁻⁶ in/in·°F (68-212°F) | | **Modulus of Elasticity** | 200 GPa | 29 x 10⁶ psi | --- #### **Mechanical Properties (Typical for Strip in Aged Condition)** *Properties are highly dependent on the exact cold work level and aging treatment (e.g., AT 725°C).* | Property | Value (Metric) | Value (Imperial) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Tensile Strength, Ultimate** | 1300 - 1550 MPa | 189 - 225 ksi | | **Tensile Strength, Yield (0.2% Offset)** | 1100 - 1350 MPa | 160 - 196 ksi | | **Elongation at Break** | 10 - 20 % | 10 - 20 % | | **Hardness (Rockwell C)** | 36 - 44 HRC | 36 - 44 HRC | --- #### **International Standards** INCONEL WE132 Strip is produced to meet various international standards for strip and foil: * **AMS 5592:** Aerospace Material Specification for Strip and Foil. This is a key specification for thin, precision-rolled products. * **AMS 5596:** Aerospace Material Specification for Sheet, Strip, and Plate (covers a wider range). * **ASTM B906:** Standard Specification for General Requirements for Flat-Rolled Nickel and Nickel Alloys Plate, Sheet, and Strip. * **UNS N07718:** Unified Numbering System designation. * **DIN 2.4668:** German standard designation. --- #### **Product Applications** The unique combination of precision, strength, and formability makes this strip ideal for demanding applications: * **Aerospace & Defense:** * Bellows and flexible expansion joints for fuel and hydraulic systems. * High-temperature spring components (e.g., seal springs, disc springs). * Shims, spacers, and gaskets for jet engines. * Lightweight structural components in guidance systems. * **Electronics & Semiconductor:** * Lead frames for high-reliability electronics. * Spring contacts and connectors in corrosive environments. * **Medical Devices:** * Components for surgical tools and implants requiring biocompatibility and high strength. * Springs and critical parts in MRI machines and other medical equipment. * **Industrial Engineering:** * Diaphragms for pressure sensors and transmitters. * High-performance springs for valves and downhole tools in the oil & gas industry. * Corrosion-resistant fasteners and clips. --- **Disclaimer:** *INCONEL® is a registered trademark of Special Metals Corporation.
