Features:
Nimonic alloy 90 is a precipitation hardenable nickel-chromium-cobalt alloy strengthened by the addition of Titanium and Aluminium. Alloy 90 has a high stress rupture strength and creep-resistant at temperatures to 920°C. Nimonic Alloy 90 is typically used in extreme stress applications such as turbine blades, hot working tools, exhaust reheaters, disc and high-temperature springs.
The recommended heat treatments for Nimonic 90 are as follows:
Nimonic 90 Bar
Solution Treatment - 1080 °C (1975 °F) for 8 hours + air cool or oil/ water quench
Precipitation Heat Treatment (As per BS HR2) - 700 °C (1290 °F) for 16 hours + air cool
Nimonic 90 Sheet
Solution Treatment - 1100-1150 °C for 1-10 minutes + air cool or oil /water quench
Stabilization Heat Treatment - 925 °C for 1 hour + air cool
Precipitation Heat Treatment - 750 °C for 4 hours and air cool
(BS HR202/ MSRR 7016 / Siemens TLV 85252100 do not require the Stabilization Treatment stage)
