Nickel Alloy N06975-ANN vs N06975-AW
Nickel Alloy · N06975 temper comparison
N06975-ANN and N06975-AW are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, N06975: ANN (annealed) versus AW (as-welded deposit). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. N06975-AW is the stronger of the two: yield strength 330 MPa (47.9 ksi) against 310 MPa (45 ksi) for N06975-ANN, about 6% more. In exchange, N06975-ANN is the more ductile: elongation 50% versus 35% for N06975-AW, and N06975-AW is harder (195 HB vs 185 HB).
N06975-ANNChoose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
N06975-AWChoose it when strength drives the design.
N06975-ANN vs N06975-AW: 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.
