Nickel Alloy ENiCrCoMo-1 vs ENiCrMo-13
Nickel Alloy · grade comparison
Nickel Alloy ENiCrCoMo-1 and ENiCrMo-13 are both nickel alloy grades. ENiCrMo-13 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 430 MPa (62.4 ksi) for ENiCrCoMo-1, about 12% more. ENiCrCoMo-1 runs hotter in service (1,100°C vs 450°C continuous) and ENiCrCoMo-1 conducts heat better (13.6 W/m·K vs 10.1 W/m·K). On the shop floor, ENiCrMo-13 forms better (45 vs 35 out of 100).
ENiCrCoMo-1Choose it when the part sees heat.
ENiCrMo-13Choose it when strength drives the design.
ENiCrCoMo-1 vs ENiCrMo-13: 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.

ENiCrCoMo-1 vs ENiCrMo-13 — frequently asked
Is ENiCrMo-13 stronger than ENiCrCoMo-1?
Yes. ENiCrMo-13 has a typical yield strength of 480 MPa (69.6 ksi) against 430 MPa (62.4 ksi) for ENiCrCoMo-1 — about 12% more. Tensile strength is 745 MPa (108 ksi) vs 720 MPa (104 ksi).
Which is cheaper, ENiCrCoMo-1 or ENiCrMo-13?
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-13?
Pick ENiCrCoMo-1 when the part sees heat. Pick ENiCrMo-13 when strength drives the design.
