MP159 Fasteners

MP159 Fasteners

MP159 Fasteners As aerospace engineering advances, so must the materials to meet the technological requirements of this industry. Fasteners made from MP159 have been developed to provide a solution to high temperature, high strength components. MP159 fasteners offer strength capabilities similar to other Cobalt Alloys (MP35N) but can be used at much higher temperatures - up to 1100°F, compared to MP35N’s usable limit of 800F. In addition, MP159, can be used beyond 1100°F in short term situations.

Metallurgical note: MP159 is a multiphase cobalt-nickel-chromium alloy strengthened through a combination of cold work and age hardening. The alloy develops its ultra-high strength through cold deformation (typically 48% reduction) which induces a strain-induced martensitic transformation (γ → ε), followed by aging at 650-675°C to precipitate fine Ni₃(Al, Ti) L1₂ particles. This unique strengthening mechanism enables tensile strengths exceeding 1830 MPa (265 ksi) while maintaining good ductility and toughness. The alloy remains non-magnetic (permeability <1.00265) even after cold working.

High‑Temperature Performance of MP159 Fasteners

Dynamic Performance Characteristics

Recent research demonstrates that MP159 exhibits extraordinary strength-ductility synergy over a wide strain rate range (10⁻⁴/s – 10³/s). When strain rate increases from quasi-static to dynamic (1500/s), yield strength increases from ~850 MPa to ~1155 MPa while elongation remains around 30%, enabled by nanotwin and stacking fault deformation mechanisms. This makes MP159 ideal for high-speed dynamic loading conditions in aerospace applications.

Exceptional Corrosion Resistance of MP159 Fasteners

MP159 alloy offers outstanding corrosion resistance comparable to MP35N®, making it suitable for the most aggressive environments.

  • General Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to inorganic acids, seawater, and salt spray environments. Maintains passive film stability in chloride-containing media.
  • Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC): Exceptional resistance to stress corrosion cracking in chloride and sour (H₂S) environments. Qualified per NACE MR0175 for oil & gas applications.
  • Pitting and Crevice Corrosion: Superior resistance to localized corrosion in seawater and brine solutions. No evidence of crevice corrosion or pitting in ferric chloride tests.
  • Hydrogen Embrittlement: Excellent resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. Salt wipe tests show no damage or cracking.
  • High-Temperature Oxidation: Forms protective oxide scale at elevated temperatures, maintaining integrity up to 650°C service.
