VDM® Alloy C-264 (2.4750)
VDM® Alloy C-264 is a nickel-based super alloy developed by VDM Metals. It was developed specifically for corrosive high-temperature environments, as those found in modern high-performance turbochargers.
Characteristics of VDM® C-264
VDM® Alloy C-264 (2.4750) is characterized by:
- Excellent processing properties in solution-annealed condition
- Very good creep strength up to 950 °C (1,742 °F)
- Good oxidation resistance up to approx. 1,050 °C (1,922 °F)
- Good mechanical short and long-term properties, as well as good fatigue strength in age-hardened condition
Applications of VDM® Alloy C-264
Based on its outstanding creep resistance and very good oxidation resistance, VDM® Alloy C-264 is used for various components in the hot turbine side of high-performance turbochargers. Due to its excellent workability in the solution-annealed condition, complex and sophisticated components are possible. With a standard elongation at fracture measured in the solution-annealed condition of over 60%, VDM® Alloy C-264 is a deep-drawing material. In the age-hardened condition, VDM® Alloy C-264 also offers a very high elongation at fracture, typically over 35%, giving it good formability.
Typical applications for VDM® Alloy C-264 (2.4750) are:
- Use in components on the hot turbine side of high-performance turbochargers
- Use in components of exhaust systems
- High-temperature seals (C-ring/V-ring or multi-layer gaskets)
- Belleville washers
- Use as deep-drawing material
- Use in powertrain components
- Use as die-forging material
