Our Nimonic80A high-strength strip is built to tackle the extreme demands of jet engine components, delivering top-tier strength and oxidation resistance. This nickel-based superalloy is a standout for aerospace applications, and we’re excited to dive into what makes it special, how it fits into industry trends, and why our product is a cut above the rest.
What is Nimonic80A Alloy?
Nimonic80A is a nickel-chromium superalloy engineered for high-temperature, high-stress environments. Packed with chromium and titanium, it forms a tough oxide layer that fights off oxidation and corrosion, performing reliably up to 815°C (and handling short bursts up to 950°C). Its precipitation-hardenable structure gives it exceptional tensile strength and creep resistance, making it perfect for jet engine turbine blades, discs, and fasteners. Our Nimonic80A strips are crafted with precision rolling techniques, ensuring uniform thickness and a smooth surface for seamless integration into critical systems.
We optimize our manufacturing process to deliver strips that meet the tightest tolerances, and the alloy’s heat-treatable nature lets us dial in the exact strength and toughness you need for your project.
Industry Applications
Our Nimonic80A strips are a go-to for aerospace, powering jet engine components like turbine blades, discs, and fasteners that face intense heat and mechanical stress. Its oxidation resistance and strength make it ideal for these high-stakes applications. Beyond aerospace, you’ll find Nimonic80A in gas turbines for power generation and in chemical processing plants where high temperatures and corrosive environments are common. Its durability also makes it a great choice for both new part production and repair of worn components, extending service life and boosting efficiency.
