Hastelloy X Powder: The Backbone of Aerospace Innovation

A senior aerospace engineer once faced a recurring failure in jet engine components. Despite using high-grade alloys, oxidation and thermal fatigue kept shortening component life. The breakthrough came when Hastelloy X Powder entered additive manufacturing. Suddenly, durability improved, downtime reduced, and performance stabilized.

That moment reflects a major industry shift — material selection is no longer secondary; it is the foundation of performance.

Today, it is at the center of aerospace advancements, and at DOMADIA™, this material is supplied for industries demanding extreme reliability.

Hastelloy X Powder Chemical Composition

It is a nickel-based superalloy designed for high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance.

• Nickel (Ni): Balance
• Chromium (Cr): 20.5–23%
• Iron (Fe): 17–20%
• Molybdenum (Mo): 8–10%
• Cobalt (Co): 0.5–2.5%
• Tungsten (W): 0.2–1%
• Carbon (C): ≤0.10%

This composition allows it to maintain structural integrity under extreme aerospace conditions..

Properties of Hastelloy X Powder

• Exceptional oxidation resistance up to 1200°C
• High creep and rupture strength
• Excellent fabricability in powder form
• Resistance to carburization and nitriding
• Stability in oxidizing and reducing environments

These properties make Hastelloy X Powder indispensable in aerospace engineering.
