Nickel Alloy Alloy 333 vs N07773
Nickel Alloy · grade comparison
Nickel Alloy Alloy 333 and N07773 are both nickel alloy grades. N07773 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,030 MPa (149 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for Alloy 333, about 3.3 times as much; tensile strength follows at 1,275 MPa (185 ksi) vs 690 MPa (100 ksi). In exchange, Alloy 333 is the more ductile: elongation 50% versus 16% for N07773, and N07773 is harder (350 HB vs 190 HB). Alloy 333 runs hotter in service (1,100°C vs 650°C continuous). On the shop floor, Alloy 333 machines more easily (25 vs 15 out of 100) and Alloy 333 welds better (very good vs fair).
Alloy 333Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
N07773Choose it when strength drives the design.
Alloy 333 vs N07773: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all nickel alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

Alloy 333 vs N07773 — frequently asked
Is N07773 stronger than Alloy 333?
Yes. N07773 has a typical yield strength of 1,030 MPa (149 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for Alloy 333 — about 3.3 times as much. Tensile strength is 1,275 MPa (185 ksi) vs 690 MPa (100 ksi).
Which is cheaper, Alloy 333 or N07773?
Both sit in the same relative cost tier ($$$$, high); the part price will be decided by machining time, tolerance and quantity rather than by the material.
Which is easier to machine, Alloy 333 or N07773?
Alloy 333, by a small margin. Both rate poor for machinability — 25/100 against 15/100 for N07773; for welding the order is Alloy 333 first (very good, 78/100) then N07773 (fair, 40/100).
