Waspaloy® Wire Description
Waspaloy® is an age hardenable nickel-base alloy with excellent high temperature strength and good resistance to oxidation at temperatures up to 1600°F. The alloy’s high-temperature strength isderived from its solid solution strengthening elements,molybdenum, cobalt and chromium, and its agehardening elements of aluminum and titanium. Waspaloy® has higher stability and strength ranges than those available for alloy 718. Itcan be heat treated in three-steps: solution treatment, stabilization and age-hardening

Additional Properties
Corrosion Resistance
Refer to NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations
Standard Wire Finishes
Extra Clean: (XC) Extra clean is also referred to as “bright annealed” or “bright annealed and cold rolled”
Grease (round wire only): Drawn in a heavy grease produces an “Ultra bright” finish for decorative applications
Soap (round wire only): Soap is used as a lubricant in the drawing process and is not removed. It acts as a lubricant during customer part forming operation. A soap finish is available in tempered products.
Plated: Many plating options are available.
∗Special finishes are available: Contact Ulbrich Wire Sales with special finish and plating requests.
Forms
Continuous Coils
Cut to lengths
Precision cutting
Cold Forming
Waspaloy® can be cold-formed in the annealed condition, and may also be hot-formed at temperatures of 1900°F or above.
