Benefits of Using Nimonic 90
One of the main benefits of using Nimonic 90 is its exceptional resistance to high-temperature corrosion and oxidation. This makes it ideal for use in gas turbine engines, where temperatures can reach up to 2000°F (1093°C) and exposure to harsh environments is common.
Additionally, Nimonic 90 offers excellent mechanical properties, including high strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. It also has good ductility and is easy to fabricate, weld, and machine.
Another advantage of Nimonic 90 is its age-hardening capability. The alloy can be strengthened by heat treatment, which results in improved mechanical properties. This makes it a cost-effective alternative to other high-performance alloys such as Inconel 718.
Production Process of Nimonic 90
The production process of Nimonic 90 starts with melting the raw materials in an electric arc furnace. The molten metal is then refined and cast into ingots. The ingots are then hot-worked into billets, which are further processed into bars, plates, sheets, strips, pipes, and wire rods through various techniques such as forging, rolling, and drawing.
The final step in the production process is heat treatment, which involves annealing, solutionizing, and aging. The heat treatment process improves the mechanical properties of Nimonic 90, making it suitable for high-performance applications.
Quality Control Measures
At ANTON METAL, we follow strict quality control measures to ensure that our Nimonic 90 products meet the highest standards of quality and reliability. Our products undergo extensive testing and inspections throughout the production process, from raw material to finished product.
We use advanced testing equipment such as spectrometers, ultrasonic testing machines, and hardness testers to verify the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensional accuracy of our Nimonic 90 products. Our quality control measures ensure that our customers receive products that meet their exact specifications and performance requirements.
