AMS 5704L is the Aerospace Material Specification covering a corrosion- and heat-resistant nickel alloy in the form of forgings measuring 3.25 inches (82.6 mm) and under, as well as forging stock of any size. This specification applies to Waspaloy forgings produced from consumable electrode remelted or vacuum induction melted material, ensuring superior cleanliness, consistent chemistry, and enhanced mechanical properties essential for demanding aerospace applications. The specification requires a specific heat treatment sequence to develop the alloy's full mechanical potential: | Heat Treatment Step | Temperature Range |
|---|
| Solution Treatment | 1825 to 1900°F (996 to 1038°C) | | Stabilization Treatment | As specified by standard | | Precipitation (Aging) Treatment | As specified by standard |
This three-step heat treatment process—solution, stabilization, and precipitation—develops the optimal balance of strength, ductility, and high-temperature performance that makes Waspaloy indispensable for critical rotating components.
Fabrication & Material ComparisonSolution Treatment: 996-1038°C (1825-1900°F), air cool or faster Stabilization: 843°C (1550°F) × 4 hours, air cool Aging: 760°C (1400°F) × 16 hours, air cool Hot Working: Forging stock can be forged into complex shapes using conventional methods Machining: Good machinability in solution-treated condition; more difficult after full aging Welding: Good weldability using GTAW (TIG); post-weld heat treatment required to restore properties
