Udimet 700 is one of the strongest wrought γ′-strengthened Ni-Cr-Co superalloys, with high aluminium/titanium for maximum precipitate strengthening and good oxidation resistance to about 800 °C. It is used where the highest turbine hot-section strength is required.
Repair-welded with matching/overalloyed fillers under a strict qualified procedure (solution treat + age). Fabrication follows turbine OEM specifications; not a general fabrication alloy.
The grade is supplied to the following common specifications:
| Standard | Product Form / Scope |
|---|---|
| AMS 5705 | Bars & forgings reference |
| OEM turbine specs | PWA / GE / Rolls-Royce |

Yes for repair, with matching/overalloyed fillers under a strict qualified procedure (solution treat + age), per turbine OEM specs. It is not a general fabrication alloy.
Gas-turbine blades and vanes, aero-engine high-strength rotating parts, industrial turbine hot-section components and high-temperature bolting.
700 is the highest-strength, highest-temperature grade of the family (to ~800 °C); 500/520/630 cover slightly lower-temperature disc/blade duties with more ductility.
Bars/forgings referenced under AMS 5705, with most production governed by OEM turbine specifications.
