Difference Between Inconel and Nimonic

Inconel

Inconel is a family of austenitic nickel-chromium-based superalloys while Nimonic alloys typically consist of more than 50% nickel and 20% chromium with additives such as titanium and aluminium. Nimonic & Inconel are registered trademark of Special Metals Corporation.

Inconel alloys

Alloys of inconel include:

Inconel 600: Solid solution strengthened

Inconel 601

Inconel 625: Acid resistant, good weldability. The LCF version is typically used in bellows.

Inconel 690: Low cobalt content for nuclear applications, and low resistivity

Inconel 713C: Precipitation hardenable nickel-chromium base cast alloy

Inconel 718: Gamma double prime strengthened with good weldability

Inconel 751: Increased aluminium content for improved rupture strength in the 1600 °F range

Inconel 792: Increased aluminium content for improved high temperature corrosion properties, used especially in gas turbines

Inconel 939: Gamma prime strengthened to increase weldability
