Haynes 188 wire is a tough, heat-resistant alloy made from cobalt, nickel, chromium, and tungsten. It’s built to handle extreme conditions, like oxidizing environments up to 2000°F, without losing strength. At Parag Metals, we supply Haynes 188 wire for various demanding industries. It also stands up well to corrosion from sulfate deposits and molten salts. The wire is easy to shape and weld using standard methods like TIG, MIG, and electron beam. Its solid weldability, strong resistance to thermal damage, and reliable performance make it a trusted choice for industrial applications.
What makes Haynes 188 wire stand out is its balance of strength and flexibility. It has a tensile strength of 115,000 psi (791 MPa) and can stretch up to 39% before breaking. That flexibility comes from the exact mix of metals. Cobalt adds heat resistance and nickel boosts strength and corrosion protection. Chromium helps form a protective oxide layer, and tungsten keeps it strong at high temperatures. These elements make it ideal for extreme work environments.

This wire comes in several forms, like MIG spools, TIG cut lengths, coils, and reels. It supports inert gas welding methods and works with MIG-DCEP and TIG-DCEN currents. We offer a size range from 0.76 mm to 4.70 mm. The Haynes 188 wire is used in industries like petroleum, power plants, gas, machinery, shipbuilding, and construction. It’s also common in chemical plants and hardware manufacturing.
Every batch is tested for strength, flexibility, and durability. We test chemical, mechanical strength, and weldability, and look for any surface flaws. Need a trusted Haynes 188 wire supplier in India? Contact us today to check availability and pricing.
