| Supersolvus P/M Rene 95 is designed to provide even higher temperature creep resistance and stress rupture strength than subsolvus Rene 95. Chemistry is not modified. These properties are obtained by processing above the gamma prime solvus to provide a larger grain size than subsolvus processed Rene 95. Although this results in a small reduction in room temperature and elevated temperature strength, substantial ductility is maintained and considerably higher temperature service is possible. The primary use of supersolvus Rene 95 is for high pressure turbine blades retainers for high thrust aircraft turbines. This material can also be used for hot work tooling where ferrous based tool steels cannot maintain adequate strength Supersolvus Rene 95 is available as-HIP preforms in the same size ranges as standard Rene 95. As-HIP parts can range up to 46 inches (1.2 m) in diameter and weighs up to 16,000 lb (7,200 kg). Extruded billet up to 12 inches (.3 m) in diameter is produced from compacts containing up to 8,000 lb (3,600 kg) of powder. Advantages: - Higher temperature creep resistance and stress rupture strength than standard Rene 95
- Larger grain size than standard Rene 95
