Superalloys or high performance alloys are the metallic alloys that possess high strength, significant surface stability, corrosion resistance and creep resistance at high temperature. Superalloys are generally utilized in products and applications operating at high pressure, radiation, force and temperature under the impact of corrosive media.
They have austenitic face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal with alloying element of cobalt, iron or nickel as a base. Presently, there is escalation in demand of superalloys due to its high-strength that can resist creeping and high temperature in various applications like aerospace and aircraft.
Superalloys are used in various application such as aerospace, oil and gas, industrial and gas turbine. Combustion chambers, shafts, blades of aircraft gas turbine, turbocharger and exhaust valve of reciprocating engines, bolts, fans and pumps of chemical and petrochemical industries, rocket engine parts of space vehicles, bolts, blades of steam turbine power plants are some of the prominent end-use products / applications where superalloys are extensively used.
Furthermore, superalloys are widely used in automotive sector due to their capability to retain its strength at higher temperature. Additionally, due to their light weight, it helps in improving the fuel efficiency of automotive as well as aircraft. Superalloys can be nickel-based, iron-based and cobalt-based.
Among these, the nickel based superalloys are highly preferred in aerospace sector as it can resist physical stress and extremely high temperatures, which in turn helps to maintain high surface stability. Industrial nickel-based superalloys contain alloying elements such as aluminum, chromium, titanium, tungsten, niobium, tantalum, cobalt etc. Some of the key players in the market are focused on development of cost effective light weight superalloys.
Increasing adoption of superalloys or high performance alloys in power and aerospace industry is expected to drive the growth of superalloys market over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing use of light weight components in automotive sector is also anticipated to upsurge the demand of superalloys across the globe.
Additionally, excellent cryogenic temperature property, resistance to corrosion, oxidation resistant, high toughness and ductility are the properties of superalloys which are expected to fuel the demand of global superalloys market during the forecast period.
High cost of the alloy metals is one of the major factor which is anticipated to hamper the growth of superalloys market. Moreover, specialty machines are used to manufacture superalloys and high price of these machines is further expected to restrict the growth of superalloys market.
