Superalloys are high-strength, heat-resisting alloys based on iron, nickel, or cobalt, which exhibit resistance to surface degradation under prolonged exposure to high temperature. Most superalloys possess complex physical and chemical properties due to the presence of different metals in different proportions. The presence of multiple alloying elements and usage of different production techniques help to create multiple phases in the superalloys, which lend special mechanical properties. A few key alloying elements such as iron, cobalt, and nickel help in the production of the dominant phases in the superalloys, while on other hand, a variety of adjunct elements that are found in traces help in modifying special properties in the superalloys.

Classification of the superalloys is based on the chemical composition of cobalt base, iron base, nickel base and processing methods of cast alloys and wrought alloys. A combination of proper chemical composition and processing methods produces high quality superalloys with desirable properties, according to the scope of application. A highly popular superalloys used around the globe are Nickel-based superalloys. Nickel-base superalloys have nickel as the major constituent combined with significant quantity of chromium. Some nickel-based superalloys also contain iron, cobalt, tantalum, tungsten, and molybdenum, as major alloying additions, in order to impart specific properties in the produced superalloys. Superalloys are strengthened by second-phase intermetallic precipitation, vacuum suction, and solid-solution techniques.

A majority of superalloys are employed in jet engines, gas turbines, chemical process industries, coal conversion plants due to their corrosion resistance and heat requiring properties. A majority of nickel-based superalloys are utilized in extremely high temperature load-bearing applications, which cannot be achieved by any other alloys. Other elements employed in the manufacture of superalloys are titanium, aluminum, and niobium. Superalloys made from titanium and aluminum, currently, constitute a majority of advanced aircraft engines produced around the globe.

Alloying nickel with chromium and aluminum significantly improves surface stability, which enables them to be employed in high temperature applications and aggressive environments such as parts of reactive engines, aircraft engines, containers for the chemical industry, pressure vessels, maritime constructions, combustion systems, turbines blades, furnace systems, nuclear reactor equipment, and protection tubes of thermocouples. Production of the specialty materials which can resist extremely high-temperature is possible at present because of the use of superalloys in the present time.

Rising demand for specialty materials in defense, energy, automobile, marine and aerospace industries across the globe. This in turn provides significant growth potential for the superalloys market. Increase in demand for superalloys in the automotive industry for engines is also driving the superalloys market around the globe. The superalloys market is driven by factors such as rising international defense deals, increase in trade of fighter aircraft, increase in number of power projects in developing economies, expanding aerospace industry in India and China, expansion of space program in several countries around the globe. Lack of technology and infrastructure in emerging economies and high prices of superalloys are the key restraints of the superalloys market.
