1. GENERAL
This iron-nickel-base precipitation-hardening alloy has
high tensile, creep and creep-rupture strength in the
temperature range 1000 to HOOF. In this temperature
range its strength properties are superior to those of
iron-base superalloys such as A -286 (Code 1601): at
higher temperatures more highly alloyed nickel-base
supperalloys, such as Inconel 718 (Code 4103) and
1.06
Waspalloy (Code 4208) , are superior . Because of its
stable austenitic matrix, it is also suitable for cryo¬ 1.061
genic applications. The alloy has forgeability and
mac hinability superior to those of the nickel-base super- 1.062
alloys sucb as Waspalloy but inferior to those of iron-
base alloys such as A -286 and 17-22A (Code 1210). Its
oxidation-corrosion resistance is comparable to that of 1.07
austenitic stainless steels, but its weldability is not 1.071
good. Typical uses are in aircraft and land-based gas
and steam turbines for compressor discs, turbine discs,
hubs, shafts, spacers, tierods, frames, casings and
high-temperature bolting (3)(4)(5)(11)(12), 1.08

1.05 Heat Treatment
1.051 Immediately after Incoloy 901 became commercially
available, it was used primarily in the solution -treated
and aged condition. It was subsequently learned that
improved creep and creep-rupture properties can be
obtained by adding a stabilization treatment between the
solution and aging treatments . Consequently, the follow
ing three step heat treatment is now recommended for
optimum resistance to creep and rupture at elevated
temperatures (1)(3)(11);

Note: A slightly reducing atmosphere free from sulfur
is recommended for the solution treatment.

1. 053 It has recently been shown that somewhat lower tem¬
peratures in each heat treat sequence, as shown below,
1.094
develops a small grain size of ASTM No. 5 or finer,
which results in improved fatigue and tensile proper¬
1.095
ties with probable reduction of creep -rupture proper¬
ties at temperatures above 1200F (3)(21),

-
Age or precipitate: 1175 1225F, 12-20 hr. , AC.
For further improvements in fatigue and tensile proper¬
ties induced by small grain size, a "mini -grain" ther-
mornechanical processing procedure, which results in a 2.
grain size of ASTM 10-13, has been developed for for¬
gings. This process alters the morphology of the NijTi 2. 01
precipitate from a Widmanstatten needle structure to 2.011
that of uniformly dispersed spheroidal particles, which 2.012
minimize grain growth during subsequent thermal re- 2.0121
.
crystallization The initial forging operation consists 2.0122
of about 40 percent reduction in thickness at 1800F. A
conditioning treatment of 1650F for 8 hours is then em¬
ployed to precipitate a Widmanstatten Ni3Ti structure.
The final forging operation is then conducted from 1750F 2.013
with a minimum reduction of 30 percent, resulting in 2.014
the dispersion of the needle-like precipitates into uni¬ 2.015
formly distributed spheroidal particles in the cold- .
2 016
worked matrix. A recrystallization heat treatment at
1750F for 1hour, which is below the solvus tempera¬ N[
ture of the N13T1, transforms the worked structure into
the "mini-grain" structure. Conventional stabilization 35 Fe
and aging treatments are then employed to provide full
hardness (2). 13 Cr

Forms and Conditions Available 901
Available in the forms of round and square bars, billets,
ingot, wire, sheet, slabs, plate, and forgings either
annealed or heat treated as required (4){5)(12).
Melting and Casting Practice
Incoloy 901 can be produced by air -induction melting.
For aerospace applications requiring optimum proper¬
ties, however, one of the following melting techniques
is normally employed (3)(5)(12)(13)(14).
1. Vacuum -induction melting.
2. Vacuum -consumable -electrode remelting of vacuum-
induction melted stock.
3. Electroflux remelting of consumable electrodes.
The vacuum -melting and electroflux techniques, as com¬
pared with air melting, minimize impurities and segre¬
gation resulting in improved mechanical properties,
mac hinability, and hot -working characteristics (13)(14).
Special Considerations
Large increases in fatigue strength and moderate im¬
provements In tensile properties can be obtained in this
alloy by reductions in grain size. (See Sections 1.053
and 1.054, Figure 3.0315, and Tables 3. 0214, 3.03110,
3. 057 and 3. 058), Although data on the effects of grain
size on the creep -rupture properties of this alloy are
quite limited, available information indicates that grain
refinement tends to decrease creep-rupture strength at
temperatures above 1200F but to increase creep-rup¬
ture strength at lower temperatures. Limited available
data indicate that grain refinement has little effect on
Charpy impact strength. (See Table 3.0332). (2)(3)(2i),
Variations in titanium content within the specified range
have marked effects on strength and ductility at all
te mperatures . Gene raily , higher t itanium contents are
associated with higher strength and lower ductility.
(See Figures 3.0313, 3.0314 and 3.043). (3).
Low thermal -expansion characteristics of Incoloy 901
relative to iron-base austenitic alloys with lower nickel
content make it compatible for uses with ferritic mater¬
ials (3){4).
Incoloy 901 contracts approximately 0.1 percent during
the aging treatment (4).
Tensile properties of sheet do not vary significantly
with changes in orientation from longitudinal to trans¬
verse (17). Bar and forgings generally have higher
strength in the longitudinal orientation (7).

4. 03 Joining
4.031 Welding.
4.0311 Although the weldability of Incoloy 901 is not considered
to be particularly good, it can be joined by fusion, re¬
sistance and inertia welding techniques. It should be in
the solution -treated (annealed) condition for fusion wel¬
ding. The inert -gas -shielded tungsten arc or the inert-
gas -shielded metal arc welding process is recommen¬
ded; acetylene gas welding should not be used. When INCOLOY 901
filler wire is required, it should be either of the same 0.062 IN SHEET
composition or it may be one of the special weld-wire COLD ROLLED, ANN 10 MIN
compositions produced expressly for joining dissimilar
.
high-temperature metals For optimum properties in
weldments, they should be fully heat treated by solu¬
tion, stabilization and aging after welding. Since Inco¬
loy 901 usage has been primarily in the shaft and disc
areas , experience with welding and properties of welded
joints is limited. It has been reported that weld effic¬
iencies of 80 to 90 percent can be attained in fully heat
treated fusion welds (3)(4)(5).

Inertia-welded joints of Incoloy 901, given the conven¬ 1700 1800 1900 2100
tional solution, stabilization and aging treatment, have
tensile, shear and creep properties approaching those

of the base metal. However, the fatigue-strength of

probably because of grain growth in the weld area (8).

4. 04 Surface Treatment
4. 041 Removal of hot work and heat treat scales is best done
by immersion in one of the commercially available
caustic -base salt baths followed by pickling in hot sul¬
furic and hot nitric-hydrofluoric acid (3)(5).
