Abstract: We reported new experimental results of thermophysical properties of nickel-based Waspaloy alloy such as the thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity in a temperature range from 25°C to 800°C by using laser flash and DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimeter). The Waspaloy series in experiments was basically prepared with the same chemical composition as commercial model. The amount of tungsten composition of strengthened alloy was adjusted from (0~8) wt.% for WA-LW and WA-HW specimens. The composition of forming the precipitation of gamma-prime (γ´: Ni₃Ti, Ni₃Al) of titanium and aluminium was adjusted (2.3~3.0) wt.% and (1.4~1.8) wt.%, respectively for WA1 and WA2 specimens. The thermal conductivity values of added tungsten composition were decreased due to the distortion of ordered face-centred cubic (FCC) structure and phonon scattering. The experimental values of thermal properties of WA1 and WA2 also showed the effect of changed composition of titanium and aluminium. The results of Waspaloy series were shown with each data and relative deviation plot vs. basic composition of Waspaloy alloy. Specific heat capacity of Waspaloy series was compared from the continuous data plot. In conclusion, the results of thermophysical physical properties of Waspaloy series can be very useful in thermal design, thermodynamic simulation, and the analysis of heat treatment in high temperature.
