Nimonic 80A

Nimonic 80A is commonly specified for components requiring high tensile strength, creep resistance and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. This wrought, age-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy is strengthened by controlled additions of titanium, aluminum and carbon and is intended for service at temperatures up to approximately 815 °C. Typical applications include gas-turbine blades, rings and discs, high-temperature bolts, boiler-tube supports, die-casting tooling, exhaust valves and other heavily loaded hot-section components.

Material Selection Guide

When to consider Nimonic 80A

This guide helps buyers connect service conditions with the typical advantage of Alloy 625. Final selection should consider medium concentration, temperature, pressure, fabrication, availability and budget.

Service Requirement Why Nimonic 80A Helps Common Product Form Buyer Note
High-temperature creep resistance Gamma-prime precipitation strengthening provides useful creep and stress-rupture strength at elevated temperatures. Bar, forgings, rings, discs and fasteners Provide operating stress, temperature, required life and thermal-cycle information.
Gas-turbine components Combines elevated-temperature strength with oxidation and hot-corrosion resistance. Forgings, bar, sheet, rings and discs Confirm the applicable aerospace specification and approved heat-treatment route.
High-temperature bolting Age hardening provides higher tensile and relaxation resistance than solid-solution-strengthened alloys such as Nimonic 75. Bar, wire, bolts, studs and nuts Specify thread method, proof load, service temperature and required mechanical properties.
Automotive and industrial exhaust valves Retains useful strength while resisting oxidation and repeated thermal cycling. Bar, forgings and finish-machined parts Confirm valve design, operating temperature and surface-treatment requirements.
Boiler and heat-exchanger tube supports Provides elevated-temperature strength, oxidation resistance and dimensional stability. Bar, forgings, fasteners and machined supports Review load, steam environment, temperature and expected service duration.
Welded high-temperature assemblies Thin sections can be joined using qualified resistance, TIG or MIG procedures. Sheet, strip, tube and welding wire Thicker sections require careful process selection because weld and heat-affected-zone cracking may occur.

FAQ

Nimonic 80A questions from buyers

Find practical answers about procurement, standards, fabrication and industrial applications.

Nimonic 80A is used for gas-turbine blades, rings and discs, high-temperature bolts, boiler-tube supports, exhaust valves, die-casting inserts, furnace hardware and other components requiring elevated-temperature tensile and creep strength.

Yes. UNS N07080 is the standardized UNS designation for Nimonic 80A. The alloy may also be identified as Alloy 80A, W.Nr. 2.4952, W.Nr. 2.4631, NiCr20TiAl or AFNOR NC20TA23.

Nimonic 80A contains higher controlled additions of titanium and aluminum and is strengthened by gamma-prime precipitation. It provides substantially higher creep and tensile strength than Nimonic 75 but requires more precise heat treatment and more careful welding control.

YSN128 can quote plate, sheet, strip, round bar, flat bar, hexagon, rod, wire, pipe, tube, forging stock, rings, discs, fasteners, flanges and drawing-based machined components.

Common standards include ASTM B637, BS 3076 and BS HR 1 for bar and forging stock, BS HR 201 for plate and sheet, BS HR 401 for pipe and tube, BS HR 601, DIN 17742 and related aerospace specifications.

The exact heat treatment depends on the product form. A commonly referenced treatment for extruded bar is 8 hours at 1080 °C followed by air cooling, then 16 hours at 700 °C followed by air cooling. Sheet, forged bar and cold-worked products may require different solution and aging cycles.

Yes, but welding requires qualified procedures. Resistance welding and carefully controlled TIG or MIG welding are commonly applied to thin sections. Thick sections have a greater risk of weld-metal or heat-affected-zone microcracking, so alternative joining methods and post-weld heat treatment may be required.

Please send the grade or UNS number, product form, dimensions, quantity, applicable standard, required heat treatment, mechanical-property requirements, certificate requirements, destination and service temperature. Drawings and inspection requirements are also welcome.
