Nimonic 80A is a wrought, age-hardenable nickel–chromium alloy strengthened by additions of titanium, aluminium and carbon, developed for high-strength service at temperatures up to 815 °C (1500 °F). This datasheet presents the material within the trade-name designation system.
It is essentially alloy 75 made precipitation-hardenable: titanium and aluminium form a gamma-prime [Ni₃(Al,Ti)] phase during aging that gives high tensile and creep-rupture strength, while the 18–21% chromium content forms a protective Cr₂O₃ scale providing good oxidation and scaling resistance to about 1000 °C. It also resists sulphur compounds in combustion gases, making it suitable for exhaust valves in heavy-oil engines, and offers good resistance to nitric and other acids.
It is produced by high-frequency melting (for extruded forms), electroslag-refined material (for forgings) and vacuum-refined versions. Typical applications include gas-turbine components (blades, rings and discs), high-temperature bolts and fasteners, nuclear boiler tube supports, die-casting inserts and cores, and automobile exhaust valves. A prerequisite for welding is that the material be in the solution-treated condition; strength is developed by a subsequent age-hardening treatment.

Strength is developed by precipitation of γ′ during aging, giving far higher tensile and creep-rupture strength than the solution-strengthened alloy 75. Values are typical; confirm against the mill test certificate for each delivery.
| Environment | Performance | Notes |

| High-temperature oxidation / scaling | Good | Protective Cr₂O₃ scale to ~1000 °C |
| Creep / stress-rupture (to 815 °C) | Excellent | γ′ strengthening; primary selling point |

A precipitation-hardening alloy. Strength is developed by solution treatment followed by aging.
Solution Treatment Temperature: ~1080 °C (1975 °F), ~8 h, air cool
Aging Temperature: ~700 °C (1290 °F), ~16 h, air cool Purpose: precipitates γ′ [Ni₃(Al,Ti)] for high tensile and creep-rupture strength.
Anneal (softening): ~1040 °C (1904 °F), water quench or air cool. Welding must be carried out in the solution-treated condition, with age-hardening applied afterwards to develop full properties.
Weldable by MMA/SMAW, GTAW/TIG and GMAW/MIG using a matching filler metal. As a γ′-strengthening alloy it can be susceptible to strain-age cracking, so a prerequisite for welding is that the material be in the solution-treated condition; age-hardening is applied after welding.
| Welding Process | Applicability | Filler / Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| GTAW / TIG · GMAW / MIG | Good (solution-treated) | AWS A5.14 matching Ni-Cr-Ti filler (AWS 031) |
| SMAW / MMA | Good | Matching Ni-Cr electrode |
Post-weld solution treatment + aging is recommended to restore full strength; minimise restraint to avoid strain-age cracking.
Machining Guidelines
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Preferred condition | Solution-treated (machine before final aging where possible) |
| Work hardening | High rate; rigid setup, positive rake, sharp tooling |
| Cutting | Low-to-moderate speed, ample feed, generous coolant |
Forming Processes
| Process | Notes |
|---|---|
| Hot forming | Above the solution range; ESR material for forgings |
| Cold forming | In solution-treated condition; high work-hardening rate |
| Final aging | After forming/machining to develop full strength |
| Industry | Typical Components | Key Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Gas turbines | Blades, rings, discs | High creep-rupture strength to 815 °C |
| Aerospace | Fasteners, bolts, turbine hardware | High strength + oxidation resistance |
| Automotive | Exhaust valves (incl. heavy-oil engines) | Sulphur + high-temperature strength |
| Nuclear | Boiler tube supports | Creep strength + stability |
