High Temperature Metal Applications
High Temperature Metal Applications
(OP)
Is anyone aware of any metals that can perform in a high temp. environment(1500 deg. F.)and still maintain their mechanical properties? Thanks in advance.

It would be really helpful if you could give a little background on what type of environment the metal would see (other than hot ;) ), i.e. atmosphere composition, pressure, gas velocities, etc. It would all help in answering your questions. Also, no material (mettalic) that I know of will have exactly the same high temperature properties as those at room temperature. You are in the area where for extended service life, a phenomena called creep becomes an issue (long term strain leading to eventual rupture). Could you consider the use of graphite. Graphite (fine for vacuum) will actually strengthen in some cases as it is heated.
