Nimonic 86 is a high performance nickel-based alloy that is part of the Nimonic Alloy family. Designed for high-temperature service, this alloy has excellent oxidation resistance and also resists carburization. The result is a durable alloy that will keep your pipes and fittings in service for years to come.
Nimonic 86 | UNS N07086
Nimonic 86 is a solid solution strengthened alloy, which means it cannot be age hardened. Its strength is realized through its chemical composition. It contains high levels of chromium and molybdenum, which provide excellent resistance to high-temperature oxidation and carburization. It provides reliable performance at temperatures up to 1100 ℃ (2012 ℉).

Key Advantages of Nimonic 86
Nimonic 86 can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 1100°C (2012°F) while providing oxidation resistance.
Retains its shape under prolonged stress and at high temperatures. Good resistance to creep deformation, although age hardening is not possible.
Nimonic 86 is easy to weld, simplifying complex fabrication.
Retains its properties when exposed to heat, making it ideal for high-temperature applications.
