What is Nimonic 80A grade steel?
NIMONIC® alloy 80A, UNS N07080, 2.4952, 2.4631 is a wrought, age-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy(are primarily composed of nickel and chromium.). Alloy 80A is similar to alloy 75 but made precipitation hardenable by additions of aluminium and titanium. Alloy 80A has good corrosion and oxidation resistance and high tensile and creep-rupture properties at temperatures to 815ºC (1500ºF). Alloy 80A is used for gas-turbine components (blades, rings, discs), bolts, tube supports in nuclear generators, exhaust valves in internal combustion engines and has many other offshore/marine, automotive and electrical applications.
