NI32
CR19
MO2
CU3
NB0.6

Chinese Standard

ASTM B463

Equivalent Grades

UNS N08020

Applications

Aerospace, chemical processing, marine, nuclear, heat resistance.

Available Forms

Bar, Plate, Sheet, Tube, Wire, Forging, Pipe

Uses

Nickel/cobalt-base superalloy retaining high strength, creep and corrosion resistance at extreme temperature. Used in gas-turbine blades, aero-engine hot sections, combustors and advanced energy systems.

Heat Treatment

Solution treated 1050–1250 °C and aged (≈700–900 °C) to precipitate γ′/γ″ strengtheners; processed via vacuum induction + VAR/ESR for cleanliness.

Precautions

Machining is difficult — use ceramic/PCBN tools, generous coolant and rigid setups. Keep clean (vacuum/inert melting) to avoid inclusions; avoid contamination by low-melting elements.
