Nickel-based super alloy: Incoloy 901 (UNS N09901)
What is Incoloy 901?
The Cr content in nickel-based alloy incoloy 901 is usually 11.0-14.0%, and the nickel content is 40.0-45.00%. Incoloy 901 alloy is a nickel-based alloy containing molybdenum and copper, with good hot and cold working properties. Incoloy901 is an austenitic age-hardening alloy based on Fe-43Ni-12Cr, adding titanium, aluminum and equal strengthening elements, and contains a small amount of boron and lower carbon. It is metastable γ”[Ni3(Ti, Al)] phase dispersion strengthening, a small amount of aluminum can inhibit the conversion of γ” to η-Ni3Ti phase.
Incoloy 901 alloy has high yield strength and endurance strength below 650℃, good oxidation resistance below 760℃, and stable organization after long-term use. This alloy is a relatively mature alloy developed in the early stage. It is widely used in the manufacture of rotating discs (turbine discs, compressor discs, journals, etc.), static structural parts, turbines for aviation and ground gas turbine engines operating below 650°C. Parts such as outer ring and fasteners.
Chemical composition (%) of nickel-based alloy incoloy 901 (UNS N09901):
Alloy 901 has good corrosion resistance to the atmospheres normally found in jet engine operations. It has slightly lower scaling resistance than such alloy as Types 309 and 310 stainless steel.

Heat treatment system of nickel-based alloy incoloy incoloy 901 (UNS N09901):
Solution Treatment
1975/2025°F (1080/1107°C), hold 2 hours at heat, and water quench.
Stabiliztion Treatment
1400/1475°F (760/802°C), hold 2 to 4 hrs, and air cool.
Precipitation Hardening Treatment
1300/1375°F (704/746°C), hold for 24 hours, and air cool.
Smelting and casting process of nickel-based alloy incoloy incoloy 901 (UNS N09901):
Alloy is produced by the dual process of vacuum induction and vacuum arc remelting, or vacuum induction and electroslag remelting process.
Workability of nickel-based alloy incoloy 901 (UNS N09901)
Hot Working
Alloy 901 is forged between 2050°F (1121°C) and 1850°F (1010°C), metal temperature. Light hot work may be continued down to 1600°F (871°C) but not below. Metal temperature should not exceed 2050°F (1121°C) during rapid working. Billets should be charged into a hot furnace and heated rapidly through the precipitation hardening range.
Weldability
Alloy 901 can be welded by the inert-gas-arc method. It is difficult to weld. All welding should be done in the solution treated condition. Cold worked parts should be re-solution treated before welding. A re-solution treatment is recommended after welding before stabilizing and aging.
Application areas of nickel-based alloy incoloy 901 (UNS N09901):
This alloy is widely used abroad for rotating parts and fasteners on aero engines and ground gas turbines that work below 650°C, and has a long service life. It has also been used in aero engines in China, and it is a mature alloy that has passed the test of use. Alloy forging is advanced, if the process parameters are selected or operated improperly, its performance will show obvious directionality and may cause notch sensitivity, but as long as the process is strict, this phenomenon will not occur. The expansion coefficient of the alloy is close to ferritic heat-strength alloy steel, so that the two materials can be connected and there is no special requirement for the heat account.
