UNS N07208 / W.Nr. 2.4638 — Chemical composition, mechanical properties, temperature limits, and corrosion resistance data for engineers and procurement professionals.
Haynes 282 (UNS N07208 / W.Nr. 2.4638) is a wrought nickel-based superalloy developed to provide a unique combination of high-temperature creep strength, excellent oxidation resistance, and superior weldability. Its chemistry is based on the proven Waspaloy family but with reduced aluminum and titanium content to improve weldability and thermal stability. The alloy contains approximately 20% chromium, 10% cobalt, and 8.5% molybdenum, strengthened by gamma-prime (γ') precipitates of Ni₃(Ti,Al). Haynes 282 offers creep strength comparable to Waspaloy up to about 800-900 °C, while maintaining much better resistance to strain-age cracking during welding and post-weld heat treatment. It is widely used in modern gas turbine combustors, transition ducts, and industrial heat treatment fixtures where long-term high-temperature performance and fabrication economy are both critical.
The chemical composition of Haynes 282 is carefully balanced to achieve its unique combination of high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and fabricability. Tight control of trace elements ensures consistent mechanical properties and weldability.

Haynes 282 provides excellent oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 980 °C thanks to its high chromium content and carefully balanced cobalt and molybdenum additions. The alloy forms a protective chromium oxide scale that resists both high-temperature oxidation and cyclic oxidation damage. In combustion environments, it demonstrates good resistance to carburization, sulfidation, and nitridation, making it suitable for gas turbine hot-section components and industrial furnace fixtures. At lower temperatures, Haynes 282 resists a wide range of oxidizing acids and chloride-bearing environments, although its primary design advantage is high-temperature performance rather than room-temperature aqueous corrosion resistance. Weld joints in Haynes 282 retain good corrosion resistance after proper post-weld aging, which is a key advantage over more hardenable superalloys such as Waspaloy and Rene 41.
The unique combination of high strength, corrosion resistance, and fabricability makes Haynes 282 suitable for a wide range of demanding industrial applications:
