556

Haynes 556 bars are an incredibly durable and heat-resistant alloy primarily composed of cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten. The proportion of these four elements for Haynes 556 bars varies slightly depending on factors such as intended use or commercially available alloys. However, the general chemical composition is similar throughout. Interestingly, due to its high levels of cobalt and chrome, it has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than other types of alloys and stands up exceptionally well against even the harshest conditions. Its unique properties make it popular among manufacturers in various industries, such as automotive manufacturing and aerospace engineering.

Haynes 556 bars are a versatile tool that can be used for various applications. They have the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal bar available and can resist up to optimum temperature ranges of 1400°F (760°C) with intermittent temperatures up to 1600°F (871°C). Primarily used in heat-sensitive applications, they offer superior creep resistance, good formability, and excellent fatigue life. Manufactured onsite by Haynes International’s experienced metallurgists, these virtually indestructible bars are designed to provide an economical solution for parts repair and maintenance. With an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, these bars are perfect for creating highly reliable parts that withstand extreme temperatures and conditions.
