Hastelloy X 0.8 mm Diameter 0.1 mm Thick Wall Automatic Laser Welding Honeycomb Turbine Seal

Hastelloy X 0.8 mm Diameter 0.1 mm Thick Wall Automatic Laser Welding Honeycomb Turbine Seal

Introducing our Hastelloy X Honeycomb Turbine Seal, meticulously crafted with 0.8 mm cell diameter and an ultra-thin 0.1 mm wall thickness – a specification that pushes the boundaries of precision manufacturing for gas and steam turbine applications.

Engineered from Hastelloy® X – a nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum superalloy – this honeycomb seal delivers an exceptional combination of oxidation resistance, high-temperature strength, and outstanding fabricability. With a suggested operating range from -300°F to 2200°F (-184°C to 1205°C) and a minimum tensile strength of 105 ksi, it is built to perform where other materials fail.

Why Choose Our 0.8 mm / 0.1 mm Honeycomb Seal?

1. Ultra-Fine Cell Geometry for Superior Sealing Performance

The 0.8 mm cell diameter paired with a 0.1 mm wall thickness creates a dense, high-resolution honeycomb structure that delivers unmatched abradable sealing efficiency. This fine geometry enables tighter clearances between rotating and stationary turbine components, directly improving engine efficiency and reducing parasitic leakage.

2. Hastelloy X – The Material of Choice for Extreme Conditions

Hastelloy X is widely specified for gas turbine engine components including combustion chambers, honeycomb seals, compressor vanes, and combustor cases. Its proven resistance to oxidation and thermal stress, combined with good ductility after prolonged high-temperature exposure, makes it the ideal material for critical sealing applications in aerospace, industrial furnaces, petrochemical, and chemical processing industries.

3. Automatic Laser Welding – Precision Without Compromise

Our advanced automatic laser welding facilities enable defect-free joining of thin foils with superior mechanical performance. Unlike traditional brazing methods, laser welding delivers:

· Minimal heat-affected zone – preserving the material’s microstructure and mechanical properties

· Exceptional joint integrity – with weld joint efficiency reaching up to 93%

· Consistent, repeatable quality – automated processes eliminate human variability

· High production capacity – meeting demanding delivery schedules without sacrificing quality

4. Thin-Wall Expertise

Manufacturing honeycomb seals with 0.1 mm wall thickness requires specialized expertise in both material handling and welding precision. Our automatic laser welding process is specifically optimized for thin Hastelloy X foils, ensuring:

· No burn-through or distortion

· Uniform weld penetration

· Preservation of the foil’s light-tight integrity

Applications

· Gas turbine engines – combustion chambers and turbine section seals

· Steam turbines – high-pressure stage sealing

· Aerospace propulsion systems – critical clearance control components

· Industrial gas turbines – power generation and mechanical drive applications

Customization Available

While our standard offering features 0.8 mm cell diameter and 0.1 mm wall thickness, we can tailor honeycomb seals to your exact specifications – including cell sizes from 0.8 mm to 30 mm, various wall thicknesses, and custom shapes and outer dimensions. Materials options include Hastelloy X, stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, brass, and aluminium.

Advantages

Welding device is three electrodes in the upper part, which carries five welding points across the width of the strip of corrugated sheet metal. Spot welding device filled with press and advance mechanisms. There are five welders in every unit area to make sure the strength is enough and uniformly distributed based on electrodes welding of stack and resistance. The honeycomb core generally requires a good precision of welding process, high equipment control on the product and strict quality control during process. Stainless steel honeycomb is mainly for aerospace, high industrial application and civil areas, with the structure comprised of special foils (plates). Instead of general widely used adhesive bonding, stainless steel honeycomb is welded between those joint areas of the hexagonal shapes.

Welded honeycomb seals are an integral part which have to be used on existing aircraft engines and developing engines (turbofan, turboshaft engines and auxiliary power units). For the gas and steam turbines used in the power and oil/gas industries, as well as turbo-compressors should also be supported by this honeycomb seal.
