NIMONIC® alloy 90 (UNS N07090/W. Nr. 2.4632)is a wrought nickel-chromium-cobalt base alloystrengthened by additions of titanium and aluminum. Ithas 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.
Interstage anneal of sheet 20 min/1040°C (1900°F)/AC or WQ
The data for sheet have been obtained frommaterial given a second stage interstage anneal (20min/1040°C(1900°F)/AC), which is purely a softeningtreatment. Improved tensile and rupture ductility can beachieved by using 1 h/925°C(1700°F)/AC as the secondstage heat treatment.
The density has been determined on extruded bar,extruded bar subsequently forged and extruded sectionsubsequently cold rolled given a heat treatment of 8h/1080°C (1975°F)/AC + 16 h/700°C (1290°F)/AC.

CCrreeeepp PPrrooppeerrttiieessThe creep characteristics of NIMONIC alloy 90 have beendetermined on bar (15 casts) and sheet (1 cast). Total plasticstrain has been determined on extruded section (1 cast) andsheet (1 cast).
Creep-rupture properties for NIMONIC alloy 90extruded bar subsequently forged are shown in Table 13 andFigures 7 and 8 by Larson-Miller presentation and Grahamand Walles* technique.
Creep-rupture properties for NIMONIC alloy 90 cold-rolled sheet are shown in Table 14 and Figures 7 and 9 alsoby Larson-Miller presentation and Graham and Wallestechnique.
Derived total plastic strain data for extruded sectionsubsequently cold rolled and cold-rolled sheet are shown inTables 15 and 16. Test specimens were 9.1-11.7 mmdiameter x 76 mm gauge length.
*The Graham and Walles technique assumes that stress-time test points fall on the continuous series of straight linesfor each temperature, with slopes 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2,
the change of slope and the distance between lines beingdependent on a time/temperature relationship. A generaldescription of the Graham and Walles analysis can be foundin ‘Regularities in Creep and Hot Fatigue Data’, Parts 1 and2, Aero Research Council T.R. CP379 and 380, 1958,London H.M.S.O.
Note: It is implicit in the Larson-Miller presentationthat no indication is given regarding test temperatures andrange of rupture lives covered. Tables 13 and 14 show thetemperature ranges and rupture lives used to establish thepublished curves. These tables should be referred to beforeusing the curves, since excessive extrapolation in time andtemperature is not recommended.
Despite these qualifications, it must be most stronglyemphasized that all data given in this section are typical. Noattempt has been made to indicate the scatter that may resultfrom slight processing or compositional variables. Statisticaldata on the scatter of results for tests on production materialcan be obtained from Special Metals.

stressing with varying mean stress. The abscissae representthe mean stress and the ordinate fluctuating stress. Thus apoint on the horizontal axis represents the steady stresswhich will produce fracture in a specific time in a normalcreep rupture test. A point on the vertical axis indicates thefluctuating stress required to produce a pure fatigue failurein the same time at the particular testing frequency adopted.The lines radiating from the origin correspond to stressconditions of the form P ± CP where P is the steady stressand C is a constant for any line. The full lines join pointscorresponding to lines of 100, 300 and 1000 hours forvarying stress conditions.

NIMONIC alloy 90 should be in the fully heat-treatedcondition for all machining operations. The high materialhardness in this condition, 250-350 HV, requires the use ofstringent machining techniques. Further details can be foundin the Special Metals publication “Machining’ on thewebsite www.specialmetals.com.
NIMONIC alloy 90 sheet is readily joined by any of theresistance welding processes. Fusion welding byconventional processes such as TIG or MIG (dip or pulsedtransfer) is satisfactory for section thickness up to about 5mm. Above this thickness microfissuring may occur in boththe weld and heat-affected zone.
Electron beam, friction, inertia and flash butt weldinghave all been successfully applied to thickness greater than5 mm.
The normal precautions for nickel base alloys should beobserved and welding should be carried out on solution-treated material. Post weld heat-treatment is necessary toachieve optimum properties.
WWeellddiinngg
High temperature brazing in vacuum, dry hydrogen or inertatmosphere is satisfactory for NIMONIC alloy 90 and anumber of suitable brazing alloys are available.
