Haynes 263 / Nimonic 263 characteristics and application fields of summary:

Nimonic alloy 263 is an age-hardenable nickel-cobalt-chrome-molybdenum alloy which was designed to have excellent fabrication characteristics in the annealed condition but also very good aged strength properties. Alloy 263 is easier to form or weld than other materials such as Waspaloy or Rene 41 and exhibits excellent intermediate temperature ductility. Alloy 263 is supplied in the annealed condition and its excellent ductility in this condition makes it suitable for cold forming as well as hot working. Alloy 263 can be welded using matching composition filler wire in both TIG and MIG forms. The recommended heat treatments for Nimonic 263 are as follows:

• Extruded Bar:

  Solution Treatment – 1150 °C for 1.5-2.5 hours + water quench

  Ageing Treatment – 800 °C for 8 hours + air cool

  (As per BS HR10 / AMS 5886)

• Hot-rolled Sheet

  Solution Treatment – 1150 °C for 0.5 hours + water quench or air cool

  Ageing Treatment – 800 °C for 8 hours + air cool

  (As per BS HR206/ AMS 5872)

• Cold-rolled Sheet

  Solution Treatment – 1150 °C for 3-10 mins + water quench or fluidized bed quenching

  Ageing Treatment – 800 °C for 8 hours + air cool

  (As per BS HR206 / AMS 5872)

Fabrication and Working Instructions

Nimonic 263 can be hot worked in the temperature range of 1742-2102°F (950-1150°C). Cold forming mechanical properties, on the other hand, are given in the following table:

0.1% proof stress	343 MPa
0.2% proof stress	355 MPa
0.5% proof stress	369 MPa
Tensile strength	788 MPa
Elongation on 50 mm, %	59.7
Hardness	195 HV
Mean grain size	ASTM 6.5
Erichsen value	12.8 mm
Shear strength	588 MPa
Ratio of shear to tensile strength	0.75

Please note that the data is obtained using annealed sheet 0.5-1.2 mm thick, using annealing technique of 3 minutes at 1190°C by fluidized bed quenching.

Annealing of Nimonic 263 is required during manipulations with the alloy. The following instructions should be followed regarding the shape or form:

• Bar or heavy section is usually softened by a heat treatment that lasts two hours at 2102°F (1150°C);

• Annealing of sheets should last 15 minutes at a temperature range of 1922-2012°F (1050-1100°C), followed by rapid cooling. For sheets, fluidized bed quenching can also be used.

Depending on the joint configuration and material thickness, Nimonic alloy 263 can be readily welded by argon shielded automatic and manual T.I.G and M.I.G processes. For all argon shielded welding processes the filler metal is the AMS 5966 specification (Nimonic filler metal 263), available here. In the few next bulleted points, you can see all the different argon shielded welding processes:

• Automatic T.I.G. welding can be employed on parts with a thickness of up to 3.25 mm, and only for simple butt joints without any special shaping. The Nimonic filler metal 263 should be used for parts thicker than 1.6 mm, while welding can be obtained without filler metal for parts that are thinner than 1.6 mm;

• Manual T.I.G. welding should be employed on more complicated joints with special shaping and is recommended to be used on thicknesses of up to 4.8 mm;

• I.G. welding can be used on all section thicknesses, but it is best to be used on thicknesses above 4.8 mm. Besides, it should be used over manual T.I.G. if a lot of welding is required. Both spray and dip transfer conditions can be used in this process.

Other welding and joining processes that can be used on Nimonic alloy 263, but to a lesser extent:

• Resistance spot, stitch and seam welding;

• Flash-butt welding used for the manufacture of gas turbine rings.

As a low-expansion alloy material, Invar is widely used in many fields, and it has great application prospects as a core material for power transmission conductors. However, the current high price of Invar alloy limits its large-area application. Future research on Invar alloys should take into account low expansion properties and high strength while also considering the issue of low cost, thereby accelerating the application of Invar alloys, especially its promotion and application in transmission lines, which is very important for China. The development of power transmission technology is of great significance
