Nickel Alloy ENiCrCoMo-1 vs ENiCrMo-10

Nickel Alloy · grade comparison

Nickel Alloy ENiCrCoMo-1 and ENiCrMo-10 are both nickel alloy grades. ENiCrMo-10 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 500 MPa (72.5 ksi) against 430 MPa (62.4 ksi) for ENiCrCoMo-1, about 16% more; tensile strength follows at 760 MPa (110 ksi) vs 720 MPa (104 ksi). ENiCrMo-10 is harder — 18 HRC against 17 HRC for ENiCrCoMo-1 — which matters for wear surfaces and threads. ENiCrCoMo-1 is lighter (8.36 g/cm³ vs 8.69 g/cm³ for ENiCrMo-10) and ENiCrCoMo-1 runs hotter in service (1,100°C vs 650°C continuous). On the shop floor, ENiCrMo-10 forms better (45 vs 35 out of 100).

ENiCrCoMo-1Choose it when weight is the constraint, or when the part sees heat.

ENiCrMo-10Choose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.

ENiCrCoMo-1 vs ENiCrMo-10 — frequently asked

Is ENiCrMo-10 stronger than ENiCrCoMo-1?

Yes. ENiCrMo-10 has a typical yield strength of 500 MPa (72.5 ksi) against 430 MPa (62.4 ksi) for ENiCrCoMo-1 — about 16% more. Tensile strength is 760 MPa (110 ksi) vs 720 MPa (104 ksi).

Which is cheaper, ENiCrCoMo-1 or ENiCrMo-10?

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.

When should I choose ENiCrCoMo-1 over ENiCrMo-10?

Pick ENiCrCoMo-1 when weight is the constraint, or when the part sees heat. Pick ENiCrMo-10 when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
