From our melt masters at DLX, Nimonic 80A starts with a nickel-heavy base (72-76%) that gives it killer stability at scorching temps, paired with 18-21% chromium for that oxide layer shield against rust and scaling. The real stars? Titanium (1.8-2.7%) and aluminum (1.0-1.8%) – these bad boys enable precipitation hardening, forming gamma-prime phases that ramp up tensile strength without turning brittle. Carbon's capped at 0.1% to avoid carbide buildup, iron under 3% for purity, and traces of manganese, silicon, and cobalt keep it ductile and clean. Density sits at 8.19 g/cm³, so it's no lightweight, but that heft translates to serious endurance.
Properties-wise, it's a beast. Annealed, expect yield around 310 MPa, tensile 620 MPa, with 30% elongation for easy forming into coils or threads. Age it – solution at 1080°C, then 700°C for 16 hours – and yield blasts to 930 MPa, tensile 1240 MPa, holding strong at 650°C where others flop. Creep rupture? Stellar, outlasting loads at 815°C for thousands of hours. Thermal conductivity's 11.1 W/m·K at room temp, expansion coefficient 12.7 x 10^-6 /°C – balanced to minimize warping in cycles. Corrosion? Top-notch in oxidizing atmospheres, resisting sulfidation and carburization, though not the champ in wet acids. Weldable with care (preheat to dodge cracks), machinable better than some supers (use carbide tools at 20-30 m/min), and drawable into wires from 0.05mm to 5mm dia. At DLX, we vacuum-melt for ultra-low impurities, ensuring every meter meets aerospace-grade certs – because in high-heat, consistency isn't optional; it's everything.
Eco perks? High recyclability (up to 90% scrap reuse in our process), aligning with green mandates, and our wire's surface finish means less post-processing waste. In short, Nimonic 80A is tailored for endurance where heat and stress tag-team – and DLX dials it in for your exact needs.

Nimonic 80A isn't for desk jobs; it's out there grinding in extreme environments. In aerospace, it's our go-to for turbine blades, rings, and discs – handling 800°C spins without creep, keeping jets aloft longer. We've spooled it for compressor springs that cycle millions of times in engine overhauls, or fasteners that bolt hot sections tight against vibration. One aero client cut maintenance by 35% swapping to our wire, thanks to its fatigue resistance.
Gas turbines? Prime territory. It's in combustion liners and transition ducts, shrugging off thermal shocks in power plants. Nuclear setups use it for tube supports and bolts, where low cobalt minimizes radiation activation. Auto racing digs it for exhaust valves – enduring 900°C bursts in F1 engines without pitting. Industrial furnaces coil it into heating elements, and chemical plants thread it for high-temp valves in oxidizing gases.
At DLX, customization rules: fine wires for precision sensors, heavier gauges for structural fasteners – all with annealed or aged options. It slashes weight 15-20% over steels while tripling life, boosting efficiency in everything from marine rigs to space thrusters. If your gig involves heat that would fry bacon, Nimonic 80A from DLX keeps it together.

FAQs:
We get these all the time – here's the straight scoop.
How does aging boost Nimonic 80A's strength? Precipitation hardening forms tiny particles that lock dislocations – yield jumps 3x, ideal for springs holding shape at 700°C.
Is it corrosion-proof in harsh spots? Strong against oxidation and hot gases, but coat for wet chlorides; shines in dry, sulfur-heavy turbine vibes.
Welding tips for this wire? Use TIG with matching filler, preheat to 150°C, post-age for full strength – low risk if surfaces are clean.
Fatigue performance? Tops 10^7 cycles at 500 MPa stress, thanks to fine precipitates – perfect for vibrating fasteners.
Handles low temps too? Ductile down to -200°C with good impact, no embrittlement for cryo-turbine hybrids.
Machining gotchas? Work-hardens mildly; sharp tools at 15-25 m/min, plenty of coolant – easier than Nb-heavy alloys.
Sustainability factor? High scrap reuse in our melts, low emissions – meets aero's eco standards head-on.
Sizes and delivery from DLX? 0.05-5mm dia, spools or straight lengths; 3-5 weeks stock, 7 for customs – faster than the pack.
