Nimonic 90

UNS N07090 | AMS 5829 | Alloy 90 | MSRR 7137 | NiCr20Co18Ti

NIMONIC alloy 90 (UNS N07090/W. Nr. 2.4632) is a wrought nickel-chromium-cobalt base alloy strengthened by additions of titanium and aluminum. It has been developed as an age-hardenable creepresisting alloy for service at temperatures up to 920°C (1688°F).

The alloy is used for turbine blades, discs, forgings, ring sections and hot-working tools.

Heat Treatment

The heat treatments recommended are as follows :-

  • Bar 8 h/1080°C(1975°F)/AC + 16 h/700°C (1290°F)/AC
  • Sheet 3 min/1150°C(2100°F)/FBQ or WQ + 1 h/925°C(1700°F)/AC + 4 h/750°C (1380°F)/AC
  • Welded sheet 3 min/1150°C(2100°F)/FBQ or WQ + weld + 1 h/925°C(1700°F)/AC + 4 h/750°C(1380°F)/AC
  • Interstage anneal of sheet 20 min/1040°C (1900°F)/AC or WQ

The data for sheet have been obtained from material given a second stage interstage anneal (20 min/1040°C(1900°F)/AC), which is purely a softening treatment. Improved tensile and rupture ductility can be achieved by using 1 h/925°C(1700°F)/AC as the second stage heat treatment.

Physical Properties

  • Density,
  •          Mg/m3 …………………………………………………………..8.18
  •           lb/in3 …………………………………………………………..0.296
  • Melting Range Liquidus temperature,
  •          °C …………………………………………1370
  •          °F …………………………………………2500
  • Solidus temperature,
  •          °C…………………………………………..1310
  •          °F …………………………………………..2390

The density has been determined on extruded bar, extruded bar subsequently forged and extruded section subsequently cold rolled given a heat treatment of 8 h/1080°C (1975°F)/AC + 16 h/700°C (1290°F)/AC
