***Burner rig oxidation tests were conducted by exposing samples 3/8 inch x 2.5 inches x thickness (9mm x 64mm x thickness), in a rotating holder, to the products of combustion of No. 2 fuel oil burned at a ratio of air to fuel of about 50:1. (Gas velocity was about 0.3 mach). Samples were automatically removed from the gas stream every 30 minutes and fan-cooled to near ambient temperature and then reinserted into the flame tunnel.

Haynes® 242® offers a unique combination of high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance and low thermal expansion. These characteristics ensure consistent performance in critical systems where mechanical stability and thermal reliability are essential.
Haynes® 242® alloy (UNS N10242) is an age-hardened nickel-molybdenum chromium alloy that derives strength from a long-range ordering reaction upon aging. It has tensile and creep strength properties up to 1300°F (705°C), which are as much as double those for solid solution strengthened alloys, but with high ductility in the aged condition.
The thermal expansion characteristics of Haynes® 242® alloy are much lower than those for most other alloys, and it has excellent oxidation resistance up to 1500°F (815°C). Other attractive features include excellent low-cycle fatigue properties, outstanding thermal stability and resistance to high-temperature fluorine and fluoride environments.
This alloy is also known as:
This material is composed of the following elements:
This chemical profile is according to ASTM specifications for UNS N10242. If your application requires alternate chemistries or proprietary variants, please include those details when requesting a quote.
