Overview
CW-12MW, also known as N30002, is a nickel-based superalloy specifically formulated to provide exceptional corrosion resistance across a wide range of demanding applications. This alloy's high chromium content contributes to its ability to withstand various forms of corrosion, including oxidation, pitting, and crevice corrosion, in both high-temperature and corrosive environments. In addition to its excellent corrosion resistance, CW-12MW offers good weldability and castability, making it suitable for complex fabrication and the production of intricate components. This combination of properties makes CW-12MW a valuable choice for applications in aerospace, chemical processing, and other industries where high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance are essential.
