NICKEL ALLOY G130 RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Goodwin Alloy G130 is a gamma prime strengthened Nickel alloy specifically design for high temperature application heavy section castings.

Goodwin has performed successful welding trials and ASME IX weld qualifications for the G130 material for both casting repair and fabrication welding.


  • Higher Creep Strength than cast Alloy 625 & 617
  • More castable than alloy cast 740H or Alloy 282
  • Better weldability than cast Alloy 282
  • More stable microstructure than cast Alloy 740H or 263
  • Better segregation characteristic than Nb or Mo containing Ni Alloys
  • Excellent microstructural stability during service aging
  • Lower cost than solid solution strengthened alloys – due to reduced wall thicknesses.
  • Lower wall thickness – reduce in service thermal stresses during start-up cycles. (more flexible plant operation)
