Powder nickel alloy VDM® X

for the aerospace industry

VDM® Powder X is the powder variant of a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-iron alloy with cobalt and tungsten additions. VDM® Powder X is characterized by:  Spherical particles  High purity  Low oxygen content  Excellent oxidation resistance up to 1,200 °C (2,190 °F)  High-temperature strength  Good resistance to stress corrosion cracking The corrosion resistance depends on the processing and heat treatment of the material. The conventionally produced VDM® Alloy X usually shows excellent oxidation resistance up to 1,200 °C (2,190 °F) and can be used in neutral as well as in reducing atmospheres. VDM® Alloy X is resistant in carburizing and nitriding atmospheres. Due to its corrosion resistance in various atmospheres up to very high temperatures, and excellent high-temperature strength, VDM® Powder X finds wide application in high-temperature services. Typical applications include: Components for industrial and aircraft gas turbines (combustion chambers, honeycombs, housings etc.) Industrial furnace parts, support rolls, grids, wire belts and radiant tubes Pigtails in petrochemical furnaces High-temperature gas cooled nuclear reactors According to the AM process requirements of our customers, VDM® Powder X is available in a wide range of particle fractions from 15 to 250 µm.
