### **Product Introduction: Alloy 188 (Haynes 188 Pipe / UNS R30188) Cobalt-Based Superalloy**
**Overview**
**Alloy 188** (commercially known as **Haynes 188**, and standardized as **UNS R30188**) is a premier cobalt-chromium-nickel-tungsten wrought superalloy. It is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in the most demanding high-temperature and corrosive environments. The **Haynes 188 Pipe** product form is specifically manufactured for applications involving the transport of hot, aggressive gases or fluids, or for use in high-temperature structural systems.
This solution-strengthened alloy derives its properties from a stable austenitic (face-centered cubic) matrix, fortified with high levels of chromium for corrosion resistance and tungsten for strength. The critical addition of Lanthanum (La) ensures superior resistance to oxide scale spallation during thermal cycling, which is vital for the long-term integrity of piping systems.
