Nickel alloys are metals created by combining nickel with another material as the primary element. It combines two materials to produce more desirable properties like increased strength and corrosion resistance. It's used in a wide range of equipment across multiple industries due to its distinct properties. Apex Metal India is a leading supplier and stockiest of nickel in all grades.
NIMONIC 80 alloys are primarily composed of nickel and chromium. These alloys are known for their high-temperature low-creep and high performance. Additives like aluminium, carbon and titanium are infused into the alloy. The NIMONIC alloy was first developed in 1940 in England. NIMONIC alloys available commercially are NIMONIC 75, NIMONIC 80A, 81, 86, NIMONIC PE11 and 16.
NIMONIC alloy 80A is a wrought, age-hardened alloy that is strengthened by additives like titanium, aluminium and carbon. It is manufactured by high-frequency melting and casting in air. It is similar to NIMONIC alloy 75. It has good corrosion and oxidation resistance. The creep rupture and tensile properties are high at 815°C (1500°F).
This datasheet will look into the chemical composition, properties and applications of NIMONIC alloy 80A.
