GENERAL PROPERTIES
Nimonic alloy 90 is a wrought nickel-chromium-cobalt base alloy strengthened by additions of titanium and aluminium. It has been developed as an age-hardenable creep resisting 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.
RESISTANCE TO CORROSION
Nimonic alloy 90 has excellent creep resistance, high creep rupture strength and good ductility. With high chromium content, Alloy 90 offers a good resistance to high temperature corrosion and oxidation resistance.
