Nickel Alloy N06110-AW vs N06110-CD
Nickel Alloy · N06110 temper comparison
N06110-AW and N06110-CD are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, N06110: AW (as-welded deposit) versus CD (cold drawn). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. N06110-CD is the stronger of the two: yield strength 830 MPa (120 ksi) against 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) for N06110-AW, about 98% more; tensile strength follows at 1,000 MPa (145 ksi) vs 760 MPa (110 ksi). In exchange, N06110-AW is the more ductile: elongation 35% versus 22% for N06110-CD, and N06110-CD is harder (300 HB vs 195 HB). N06110-AW runs hotter in service (650°C vs 540°C continuous). On the shop floor, N06110-AW welds better (very good vs good).
N06110-AWChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded, or when the part sees heat.
N06110-CDChoose it when strength drives the design.
N06110-AW vs N06110-CD: 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.

N06110-AW vs N06110-CD — frequently asked
Is N06110-CD stronger than N06110-AW?
Yes. N06110-CD has a typical yield strength of 830 MPa (120 ksi) against 420 MPa (60.9 ksi) for N06110-AW — about 98% more. Tensile strength is 1,000 MPa (145 ksi) vs 760 MPa (110 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, AW or CD?
SA is the default N06110 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither AW nor CD). 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 welds better, N06110-AW or N06110-CD?
N06110-AW. Its weldability rates very good (70/100) against good (60/100) for N06110-CD.
