Overview
N13100 is a nickel-based superalloy specifically designed for high-temperature applications where exceptional strength and creep resistance are critical. This vacuum-cast alloy exhibits remarkable resistance to deformation and rupture at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for demanding environments such as gas turbines and jet engines. Its high-temperature strength is attributed to its unique composition and microstructure, which provide exceptional stability and resist creep even under prolonged exposure to extreme heat. This combination of properties makes N13100 a valuable choice for applications where components must operate reliably under high stress and elevated temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vacuum cast alloys are metals melted and poured in a vacuum environment to reduce contamination from gases and ensure high purity and precision.
Used in aerospace, medical implants, nuclear components, and high-performance turbine parts requiring precise composition and minimal inclusions.
Vacuum casting reduces gas porosity, prevents contamination, and enhances alloy quality, especially for reactive or high-performance metals.
