Nickel Alloy Inconel X-750-ANN vs Inconel X-750 HR+AGE

Nickel Alloy · Inconel X-750 temper comparison

Inconel X-750-ANN and Inconel X-750 HR+AGE are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, Inconel X-750: ANN (annealed) versus HR+AGE (hot rolled / hot finished + aged 732 °C/16 h). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. Inconel X-750 HR+AGE is the stronger of the two: yield strength 900 MPa (131 ksi) against 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) for Inconel X-750-ANN, about 157% more; tensile strength follows at 1,300 MPa (189 ksi) vs 830 MPa (120 ksi). In exchange, Inconel X-750-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 45% versus 22% for Inconel X-750 HR+AGE, and Inconel X-750 HR+AGE is harder (340 HB vs 180 HB). Inconel X-750-ANN runs hotter in service (870°C vs 600°C continuous). On the shop floor, Inconel X-750-ANN welds better (good vs fair).

Inconel X-750-ANN vs Inconel X-750 HR+AGE — frequently asked

Is Inconel X-750 HR+AGE stronger than Inconel X-750-ANN?

Yes. Inconel X-750 HR+AGE has a typical yield strength of 900 MPa (131 ksi) against 350 MPa (50.8 ksi) for Inconel X-750-ANN — about 157% more. Tensile strength is 1,300 MPa (189 ksi) vs 830 MPa (120 ksi).

Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, ANN or HR+AGE?

STA is the default Inconel X-750 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither ANN nor HR+AGE). The other condition is available on request or by drawing note — specify it in the material field or the part notes and the quote is priced for it.

Which is easier to machine, Inconel X-750-ANN or Inconel X-750 HR+AGE?

Inconel X-750-ANN. Its machinability rates poor (22/100) against not recommended (14/100) for Inconel X-750 HR+AGE; for welding the order is Inconel X-750-ANN first (good, 60/100) then Inconel X-750 HR+AGE (fair, 40/100).
