Nickel Alloy Haynes 282-AW vs Haynes 282-HR
Nickel Alloy · Haynes 282 temper comparison
Haynes 282-AW and Haynes 282-HR are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, Haynes 282: AW (as-welded deposit) versus HR (hot rolled). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Haynes 282-HR is the stronger of the two: yield strength 640 MPa (92.8 ksi) against 560 MPa (81.2 ksi) for Haynes 282-AW, about 14% more; tensile strength follows at 1,060 MPa (154 ksi) vs 980 MPa (142 ksi). Haynes 282-HR is the more ductile: elongation 40% versus 35% for Haynes 282-AW, and Haynes 282-HR is harder (235 HB vs 205 HB).
Haynes 282-HRChoose it when strength drives the design, or when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
Haynes 282-AW vs Haynes 282-HR: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all nickel alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.
