Incoloy 907 Product Description

Overview

Incoloy 907 is an age-hardenable nickel-iron-cobalt controlled-expansion alloy. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.

A second-generation member of the INCOLOY 900-series low-expansion alloys, Incoloy 907 has the low coefficient of thermal expansion and high strength of alloy 903 but with markedly improved notch-rupture properties at elevated temperature. Because aluminium was found to be detrimental to rupture properties, the aluminium content of alloy 907 is strictly controlled (below about 0.2%) and the resulting loss of precipitation hardening is offset by a higher niobium content, together with a silicon addition that further improves stress-rupture behaviour. Strengthening is by precipitation of γ′ / γ″ (Ni₃(Nb,Ti)) phases during ageing, while the nickel, cobalt and iron control the Curie temperature and low-expansion behaviour. It is used in the solution-treated and aged condition.

Typical applications include gas-turbine seals, shafts, casings, rings and other structural components requiring a low, constant coefficient of thermal expansion with high strength and good notch-rupture properties.

2. Chemical Composition (wt %)

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Iron Fe Balance Base element; low-expansion matrix
Nickel Ni 35.0 40.0 Controls expansion / Curie temperature; γ′ matrix
Cobalt Co 13.0 16.0 Controls expansion; raises inflection temperature

Silicon Si 0.25 0.70 Improves stress-rupture properties
Aluminium Al 0.20 Controlled low (detrimental to rupture)
Carbon C 0.06 Carbide formation

3. Mechanical Properties

Age-hardened condition, typical values for UNS N19907.

Condition Property Value
Solution treated & aged Tensile strength (UTS) ≥1170 MPa (170 ksi)
Solution treated & aged 0.2% yield strength ≥965 MPa (140 ksi)
Solution treated & aged Elongation at break ≥13 %
Solution treated & aged Reduction of area ≥25 %
Elastic modulus 159 GPa

Confirm against the mill test report. Alloy 907 retains the low, constant coefficient of thermal expansion of alloy 903 while offering improved notch-rupture strength at elevated temperature.

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Dimensional / thermal stability Excellent Constant low CTE; key design feature
High-temperature oxidation Limited Low chromium; coatings used for hot service
Aqueous / general Moderate Low chromium content
Notch-rupture at temperature Very Good Improved over alloy 903
Elevated-temperature strength Excellent Combined with low expansion

The alloy is selected for its controlled expansion, high strength and improved notch-rupture properties rather than for corrosion resistance; the low chromium content limits high-temperature oxidation resistance, and protective coatings are commonly used for hot service.

5. Heat Treatment

A γ′ / γ″ precipitation-hardenable controlled-expansion alloy; strengthened by solution treatment followed by ageing.

Solution Treatment Solution anneal at approximately 980 °C (1800 °F) for about 1 hour and air cool, or per the applicable specification for the product form.

Precipitation Hardening (Ageing) Age at approximately 775 °C (1425 °F) for a period, furnace cool, then hold near 620 °C (1150 °F) — precipitating γ′ / γ″ (Ni₃(Nb,Ti)). A single- or two-step age is selected to balance strength, notch-rupture properties and expansion behaviour.

6. Weldability and Joining

Good weldability; welded by gas-tungsten-arc and gas-metal-arc processes in the solution-annealed condition with post-weld ageing. The aluminium restriction and silicon addition improve weld and rupture behaviour relative to alloy 903.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Good Matching alloy 907 filler
GMAW / MIG Good Matching filler
EBW / laser Good Autogenous or matching filler

Weld in the solution-annealed condition; apply post-weld stress relief and ageing to develop properties.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Preferred condition Solution-annealed for machining, then age
Machinability Difficult; rigid setups, carbide tooling, slow speeds
Coolant Ample coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming Conventional techniques; heavy-duty lubricants required
Hot forming Readily forged; solution and age afterward
