Nickel Alloy NiCo20Cr20MoTi-AW vs NiCo20Cr20MoTi-ST
Nickel Alloy · NiCo20Cr20MoTi temper comparison
NiCo20Cr20MoTi-AW and NiCo20Cr20MoTi-ST are two conditions of the same nickel alloy grade, NiCo20Cr20MoTi: AW (as-welded deposit) versus ST (solution annealed). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. NiCo20Cr20MoTi-ST is the stronger of the two: tensile strength 880 MPa (128 ksi) against 820 MPa (119 ksi) for NiCo20Cr20MoTi-AW, about 7% more. NiCo20Cr20MoTi-ST is the more ductile: elongation 42% versus 30% for NiCo20Cr20MoTi-AW, and NiCo20Cr20MoTi-AW is harder (200 HB vs 190 HB). On the shop floor, NiCo20Cr20MoTi-ST welds better (very good vs good).

NiCo20Cr20MoTi-AW vs NiCo20Cr20MoTi-ST: 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.
