GH901

HuaNickel GH901 is a Fe-Ni-Cr-based precipitation-hardened deformed superalloy. The alloy is aged strengthened with a metastable γNi₃(Ti,Al) phase, and a trace amount of aluminum inhibits the conversion of γ’ to ηNi₃Ti phase. The alloy has high yield strength and lasting strength below 650 °C, good oxidation resistance below 760 °C, and stable structure for long-term use.

GH901 Alloy properties：

HuaNickel GH901 alloy is not notch-sensitive after standard heat treatment and long-term aging in the range of 550°C~750°C. However, when forging, if the process parameters are not selected or operated properly, long strips or flakes of harmful phase Ti₂SC and large granular boride and Ti(CN) phases can be precipitated at the grain boundary after standard heat treatment, resulting in gap sensitivity during long-term testing, and it is impossible to eliminate gap sensitivity by heat treatment, but can only be re-heated and deformed to obtain a suitable structure [10]. The coefficient of expansion of the alloy is close to that of ferritic hot-strength alloy steels, which allows the two materials to be joined without special regulations for thermal expansion.

GH901 Uses of alloys：

HuaNickel GH901 alloy has been used to make rotating parts and fasteners for aero engines and ground gas turbines, and the alloy parts have a long service life.

GH901 Process performance：

Welding process: argon arc welding can be carried out, using GH901 alloy welding wire

Cutting: Use carbide tools, which should have a positive inclination angle and keep the knife edge sharp. Sulfur-based oil lubrication is recommended, but must be removed before heating at high temperatures. Attention should be paid to the grinding direction in the grinding process to avoid residual tensile stress on the surface of the part, and shot peening should be carried out if it cannot be avoided.
