ForceBeyond specializes in precision vacuum investment casting (VIM), heavy closed-die forging, and multi-axis CNC machining of high-temperature nickel, cobalt, and iron-based Superalloys and Exotic Metals. Engineered to maintain high mechanical strength, oxidation resistance, and structural integrity under severe thermal stress exceeding 1,200°F (650°C), superalloys are the foundation of modern aerospace, power generation, and advanced defense systems.
Utilizing state-of-the-art Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) foundries and 15,000+ psi Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) vessels, ForceBeyond produces dense, defect-free superalloy hardware with full AS9100 Rev D quality compliance.
| Alloy Grade | Standard Specifications | Yield Strength (0.2% Offset) | Key Features & Optimal Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inconel 718 | UNS N07718 AMS 5662 / 5383 | 1,100–1,300 MPa (160–190 ksi) | Precipitation-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy with high creep-rupture strength up to 1,300°F (700°C). Used for HGP Turbine Buckets and rocket propulsion nozzles. |
| Inconel 625 | UNS N06625 AMS 5666 / ASTM B564 | 415–600 MPa (60–87 ksi) | Non-magnetic nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with superior corrosion resistance against hot acids and chloride pitting. Used for SMR Nuclear heat exchangers and marine hardware. |
| Hastelloy X | UNS N06002 AMS 5754 / ASTM B572 | 380–500 MPa (55–72 ksi) | Exceptional oxidation resistance, high thermal stability, and formability in combustion atmospheres up to 2,200°F (1,200°C). Used for transition ducts and gas turbine combustion cans. |
| Cobalt-Chrome (CoCrMo) | ASTM F75 UNS R30075 | 550–850 MPa (80–123 ksi) | Extreme wear resistance, high polishability, and outstanding biocompatibility. Ideal for orthopedic knee/hip implants and heavy-wear valve trim. |
Superalloys work-harden rapidly and generate extreme heat during machining, damaging conventional cutting tools. ForceBeyond overcomes these challenges through disciplined manufacturing strategies:
Casting inside high-vacuum chambers eliminates dissolved atmospheric gases and oxide inclusions, yielding exceptionally high-purity grain structures required for extreme temperature environments.
Subjecting superalloy investment castings to simultaneous high temperatures and extreme gas pressure (15,000+ psi) eliminates internal microporosity, increasing rotational fatigue life by up to 300%.
