Corrosion Resistance

Nimonic 75 is the original solid-solution nickel-chromium alloy in the Nimonic family, with good oxidation resistance to about 980 °C and useful strength at temperature. Titanium and carbon provide modest precipitation strengthening. It is a cost-effective, fabricable high-temperature alloy for furnace and engine sheet-metal parts.

Welding and Fabrication

Welded with matching or 600-type fillers by GTAW/GMAW; the solid-solution structure is very fabrication-friendly and resistant to sensitisation. Post-weld heat treatment is optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nimonic 75?

Nimonic 75 (UNS N06075) is the original solid-solution nickel-chromium alloy of the Nimonic family, with good oxidation resistance to about 980 °C and useful high-temperature strength. Titanium and carbon give modest precipitation strengthening. It is a fabricable, cost-effective high-temperature alloy.

What are Nimonic 75 mechanical properties?

Annealed: ≈ 700 MPa tensile, ≈ 300 MPa yield, 40 % elongation, 80–95 HRB.

Nimonic 75 vs 80A – what differs?

75 is a solid-solution alloy (easy to fabricate, moderate strength). 80A adds more Al/Ti for γ′ precipitation hardening and much higher strength, at the cost of more difficult fabrication.

Is Nimonic 75 weldable?

Yes, very easily – with matching or 600-type fillers by GTAW/GMAW. The solid-solution structure resists sensitisation and post-weld heat treatment is optional.

Where is Nimonic 75 used?

Furnace retorts, muffles and trays, turbine combustion/sheet-metal parts, aircraft exhaust and heat shields, element sheathing and high-temperature springs.

Which standards cover Nimonic 75?

Plate/sheet/strip referenced under ASTM B168, with dedicated Nimonic specs in the BS HR/NA series and wire under AMS 4583.
