Spherical Nimonic 80A Powder Description
Spherical Nimonic 80A Powder features a spherical morphology, resulting in high packing density. This enables the manufacture of feedstocks with high powder loading, which not only minimizes binder costs but also reduces part shrinkage during sintering. It also exhibits excellent flow characteristics, leading to reduced tool wear and consistent mold filling.
Nimonic 80A Alloy is a wrought, age-hardenable nickel-chromium alloy, strengthened with additions of titanium, aluminum, and carbon. It is developed for service at temperatures up to 815℃.

Spherical Nimonic 80A Powder FAQs
Q1: How is Spherical Nimonic 80A Powder produced?
Spherical Nimonic 80A Powder is typically produced using atomization processes such as gas atomization or plasma atomization. These processes create a uniform, spherical powder with excellent flowability, which is ideal for applications like 3D printing and powder metallurgy.
Q2: What types of additive manufacturing processes use Nimonic 80A Powder?
Spherical Nimonic 80A Powder is commonly used in powder-based additive manufacturing processes such as:
- Selective Laser Melting (SLM)
- Electron Beam Melting (EBM)
- Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)
Q3: How does Nimonic 80A perform in corrosive environments?
Nimonic 80A offers excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, particularly in hot and corrosive environments. This makes it suitable for use in gas turbines, aerospace engines, and chemical processing environments where components are exposed to reactive gases and high temperatures.
