Nickel Alloy Alloy 333 vs N07776

Nickel Alloy · grade comparison

Nickel Alloy Alloy 333 and N07776 are both nickel alloy grades. N07776 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 1,010 MPa (146 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for Alloy 333, about 3.3 times as much; tensile strength follows at 1,300 MPa (189 ksi) vs 690 MPa (100 ksi). In exchange, Alloy 333 is the more ductile: elongation 50% versus 22% for N07776, and N07776 is harder (340 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.

N07776Choose it when strength drives the design.

Alloy 333 vs N07776 — frequently asked

Is N07776 stronger than Alloy 333?

Yes. N07776 has a typical yield strength of 1,010 MPa (146 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for Alloy 333 — about 3.3 times as much. Tensile strength is 1,300 MPa (189 ksi) vs 690 MPa (100 ksi).

Which is cheaper, Alloy 333 or N07776?

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 N07776?

Alloy 333, by a small margin. Both rate poor for machinability — 25/100 against 15/100 for N07776; for welding the order is Alloy 333 first (very good, 78/100) then N07776 (fair, 40/100).
