SC 180 is an age-hardenable single crystal alloy engineered for exceptionally high yield, tensile, and creep-rupture properties at temperatures up to 1000°C. Its grain-boundary-free single crystal structure eliminates the primary failure mechanisms of polycrystalline alloys, enabling reliable performance in the most demanding hot-section environments. Qualified under EMS 55465, SC 180 is used for high-pressure turbine blades in aerospace, space, and industrial gas turbine applications requiring maximum temperature capability.
