High-temperature solution anneal (≈1150 °C) for coarse grain / creep… | Chosen when maximum creep-rupture life above 800 °C matters more than room-temperature ductility or fatigue. | 500 | 960 | 55 | 190 HB | 1.4 % IACS |

Working with Haynes 282-CW
Is Haynes 282 easy to machine?
Machine in the solution-annealed state with rigid setups, positive-rake carbide or ceramic tooling, low surface speed, heavy constant feed and flood coolant; aged material work-hardens fast and is best finished by grinding/EDM.
Can Haynes 282 be welded?
Excellent GTAW/PAW/EBW/laser weldability with matching 282 filler — the low Ti+Al level makes it highly resistant to post-weld strain-age cracking, so assemblies can be welded annealed and then directly aged.
Can Haynes 282 be formed, bent or molded?
Cold forms readily as annealed sheet (deep drawing, spinning, roll forming) with intermediate anneals at ~1120–1150 °C; hot work in the 1050–1180 °C range and always re-solution anneal before aging.
What surface finishes work on Haynes 282?
Pickle/grit-blast to remove Cr-rich oxide after annealing, then passivate or electropolish; for extreme hot-gas service apply aluminide diffusion or MCrAlY/TBC coatings — anodizing does not apply.

Haynes 282-CW — frequently asked
What is Haynes 282-CW used for?
Haynes 282-CW is typically used for gas turbine combustor and hot-section parts, aerospace structural components and additive-manufactured hot-section parts. In short: weldable gamma-prime superalloy; resists strain-age cracking; additive-friendly hot-section alloy.
What is the yield strength of Haynes 282-CW?
Haynes 282-CW has a typical yield strength of 900 MPa (131 ksi) and a tensile strength of 1,150 MPa (167 ksi) — stronger than 94% of nickel alloy grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 8 listed tempers.
Is Haynes 282-CW easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated poor (18/100, worse than 61% of nickel alloy grades). Machine in the solution-annealed state with rigid setups, positive-rake carbide or ceramic tooling, low surface speed, heavy constant feed and flood coolant; aged material work-hardens fast and is best finished by grinding/EDM.
Can Haynes 282-CW be welded?
Yes — weldability is rated very good (80/100). Excellent GTAW/PAW/EBW/laser weldability with matching 282 filler — the low Ti+Al level makes it highly resistant to post-weld strain-age cracking, so assemblies can be welded annealed and then directly aged.
What surface finishes work on Haynes 282-CW?
Pickle/grit-blast to remove Cr-rich oxide after annealing, then passivate or electropolish; for extreme hot-gas service apply aluminide diffusion or MCrAlY/TBC coatings — anodizing does not apply.
Can Haynes 282-CW be formed, bent or molded?
Cold forms readily as annealed sheet (deep drawing, spinning, roll forming) with intermediate anneals at ~1120–1150 °C; hot work in the 1050–1180 °C range and always re-solution anneal before aging.
What is the maximum service temperature of Haynes 282-CW?
Haynes 282-CW is rated for continuous use to about 650°C (1,202 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
What is the difference between Haynes 282-SA and Haynes 282-CW?
SA is the default condition — standard mill-supplied condition for sheet, plate, bar and tube; softest and most formable/weldable state, aged after fabrication. CW: used for fastener wire and precision bar where higher as-supplied strength and tight tolerance are needed before aging. Yield strength is 550 MPa in SA versus 900 MPa in CW.
