Nickel Alloy L-605, which is also sold under the brand names Cobalt® L-605 and Haynes® 25, is a solid-solution, cobalt-nickel-chromium-tungsten alloy. Nickel Alloy L-605 is known for a number of unique properties including:

  • High-temperature strength
  • Good resistance to prolonged exposure to oxidizing environments up to 1800°F (980°C)
  • Excellent resistance to sulfidation
  • Great ductility, plus good forming and welding characteristics
  • Resistance to wear and galling

Because of these and many other outstanding properties Nickel Alloy L-605, Cobalt L-605, and Haynes 25 are popular in a number of different industries for a wide range of applications.  The aerospace and marine industries rely on Nickel Alloy L-605 for:

  • Gas Turbine applications (rings, blades, and combustion chamber parts
  • Industrial furnace applications
  • Muffles and liners in high-temperature kilns

In order to be called Nickel Alloy L-605, Cobalt L-605 and Haynes 25, an alloy must have a specific chemical composition which includes:

  • Cr 19-21%
  • Co bal
  • Ni 9-11%
  • W 14-16%
  • C .05-15%
  • Mn 1-2%
  • Fe 3%
  • Si .4%
  • P .4%
