A high-performance alloy is a mixture of high-end metals that exhibits several significant characteristics in various complex processes and operations. The primary features defining the high performance of such metals are resistance to thermal creep deformation, excellent mechanical strength and surface stability, and greater resistance to corrosion or oxidation. The important alloying elements include nearly 2.0% manganese and small quantities of various metals such as nickel, copper, niobium, nitrogen, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, calcium, rare earth elements, titanium, and zirconium. Of these, copper, niobium, vanadium, and titanium are added to provide strength. Some of the important alloys are Inconel, Hastelloy, Rene alloys, Waspaloy, MP98T, TMS alloys, Incoloy, and CMSX single crystal alloys. The development of such alloys is heavily reliant on chemical process innovations. Various chemical treatments such as solid solution strengthening confer high temperature strength to an alloy. In addition, one of the substantial strengthening mechanisms is the precipitation method which includes secondary precipitates such as gamma prime and carbides. Important metals such as aluminum and chromium provide oxidation or corrosion resistance along with strength. High performance alloys are used in almost all major end-use industries such as machinery, tools, turbine engines, and mechanical equipment. Moreover, the aerospace and defense and marine industries are major consumers of high performance alloys as they provide better mechanical properties or greater resistance to corrosion than carbon steel.
The global metal alloys market has been estimated to grow at a robust CAGR to reach over USD 50 billion by the end of 2023; this is anticipated to fuel the growth of the global high performance alloys market. The global aerospace and defense industry is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR on account of the increasing demand for both commercial and fighter jets around the world. This is projected to boost the demand for high performance alloys. Additionally, the global electrical and electronics industry is expected to attain a trillion dollar mark during the review period, which is likely to propel the growth of the global high performance alloys market. The automotive sector is rapidly adopting global norms and standards for emission reduction, wherein lightweight materials with high strength are prerequisite. This is anticipated to fuel the demand for high performance alloys in the automotive industry. However, the growth of the global high performance alloys market is likely to be restrained by the need for large-scale capital investments, the high cost of structure, and the complex processes involved in the production of such alloys.
