What’s up guys? This is Michael with Michael Talks Metal back for another session on some metal. Before we jump in 90% of you are not subscribed. How about if you are 9 of the 10 people watching, just ONE of you subscribe? If not, drop a like. Ok enough of that! Let’s do this.
So what is L-605 or in the UNS system R30605? Well , it’s an alloy consisting primarily of Cobalt, with Nickel, Chromium, and Tungsten forming a solid solution. L-605 cannot be strengthened by heat treatment but can be strengthened by cold work.
The alloy offers resistance to wear and galling in addition to high temperature strength and oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 2000 deg F. Applications include rings and blades in gas turbines and other combustion chamber components.
In Aerospace applications, the applicable AMS specifications require that the material has been Consumable Electrode Vacuum Melted ( aka CEVM) .
| L-605 UNS R30605 Chemical Composition: | |

| Manganese | 1.0 – 2.0 % |
| Silicon | .40 % Max |
| Phosphorus | 0.040 % Max |
| Sulfur | 0.030 % Max |
| Chromium | 19.0 – 21.0 % |
| Nickel | 9.0 – 11.0 % |
| Tungsten | 14.0 – 16.0 % |
| Iron | 3.0 % Max |
| Cobalt | Balance |
