What is Nimonic 80A and its applications?
Nimonic 80A (UNS N07080) is a wrought, age-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy. It is used for turbine components, bolts, engine exhaust valves and other hot-service parts.
- Gas turbines: Blades, rings, discs and bolts.
- Engine exhaust systems: Valve and related thermal components.
- Industrial thermal equipment: Tube supports and tooling components.

Engineering Application & Selection Guide
Titanium and aluminum enable precipitation strengthening during aging. The heat-treatment sequence depends on product requirements; a producer material-temperature description does not define a finished bolt allowable.
- Nimonic 80A stud bolts — For turbine-casing joints, define final heat treatment and required mechanical acceptance.
- Nimonic 80A hex bolts — For hot exhaust supports, evaluate thermal movement and long-term loss of clamp load.
- Nimonic 80A socket head cap screws — For confined thermal joints, agree lubrication, head geometry and inspection requirements.
Compare 80A and 718 using condition-specific creep, relaxation and fatigue evidence. The melting route, processing condition and finished-part specification can be as important as nominal composition.

Procurement and application guide
Specify the material and final condition
Confirm the aging condition and required strength.
Material forms in the technical reference: Round bar · Flat bar · Wire · Sheet · Plate · Forging stock · Hexagon & sections · Pipe & tube.
Define the finished-part acceptance
Include the material or bolting specification, required final condition, dimensions and quantity. State the service medium, temperature and loading where known. Agree the required tests, inspection coverage and acceptance criteria for the finished part.
Start with the information you have
Send a drawing or share the product form and dimensions. Identify any undecided requirements for review rather than copying a typical property value into the purchase order.
