The material was supplied in dimensions of 2.0 × 1000 × 2000 mm, fully inspected and certified as qualified before final release to our valued customer.

At ZYTC Alloy, every stage of production and inspection adheres strictly to the core principles of Standardization, Process Optimization, and Professionalism. Our dedicated quality assurance team implements rigorous testing protocols, ensuring that every product—including this recent shipment of Alloy 230 sheet—meets or exceeds international specifications. Before any material leaves our facility, it undergoes comprehensive final testing to confirm full compliance with customer requirements.

Alloy 230 (Uns N06230), also known commercially as Haynes 230, is a nickel-chromium-tungsten-molybdenum superalloy designed for extreme operating environments. It is a solid-solution strengthened alloy that delivers an unmatched combination of high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, long-term thermal stability, and nitriding resistance .

📌 Chemical Composition of Alloy 230 (UNS N06230)

The superior properties of Alloy 230 derive from its carefully balanced chemical design. Below is the nominal chemical composition of UNS N06230:

The addition of tungsten (up to 15%) provides solid-solution strengthening, while chromium enhances oxidation resistance. The precise lanthanum addition contributes to superior scale adhesion at extreme temperatures.

📌 Mechanical Properties of Alloy 230 (UNS N06230) – AMS 5878E Compliant

Alloy 230 exhibits outstanding mechanical properties across a wide temperature range, making it one of the most robust nickel-based superalloys available. The table below summarizes typical mechanical properties for Alloy 230 in the annealed condition, as supplied under AMS 5878E and ASTM B435:

In addition to its room-temperature strength, Alloy 230 offers exceptional long-term stability at elevated temperatures, with excellent creep resistance and thermal fatigue resistance, making it particularly effective for very long-term service at 650°C (1200°F) and above .

🔩 Physical Properties

Beyond its mechanical performance, Alloy 230 offers a combination of physical properties that enhance its suitability for extreme environments:

• Density: 0.324 – 0.327 lb/in³ (8.97 – 9.05 g/cm³)

• Melting Range: 1360 – 1410°C (2480 – 2570°F)

• Modulus of Elasticity (E) : 30.3 – 30.6 × 10³ ksi (209 – 211 GPa) at room temperature

• Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 8.9 µin/in-°F (70–1800°F) / 16.1 µm/m-°C (25–1000°C)

• Electrical Resistivity: 49.2 µΩ·in (125.0 µΩ·cm)

• Thermal Conductivity: 62 Btu-in/ft²-hr-°F (8.9 W/m·K)

• Magnetic Permeability: ~1.00 (non-magnetic)

Notably, Alloy 230 exhibits lower thermal expansion characteristics than most high-temperature alloys and demonstrates pronounced resistance to grain coarsening with prolonged exposure to high temperatures .
