UNS N07718 – Heat treatments and mechanical properties

May 7, 2017 by Mariano Iannuzzi

Spreadsheet version

An always up-to-date spreadsheet with composition, heat treatment, and mechanical properties can be obatined HERE.

Heat treatment procedures

The UNS N07718 heat treatment procedures to obtain NA718 class 120K or 140K are described below,[1]ref1

Solution annealing Age Hardening a
UNS Material Designation Material temperature Time Material temperature and Time
N07718 120K 1021 to 1052 °C 1 to 2.5h 774 to 802°C for 6 to 8h
N07718 140K 1021 to 1052 °C 1 to 2.5h 760 to 802°C for 6 to 8h

 

b Cool in air, inert gas, water, polymer or oil to ambient temperature.

Mechanical properties

The required mechanical properties of UNS N07718 class 120K and 140K are described below, YS means yield strength and TS tensile strength. [1]ref1

UNS Material Designation Section thickness 0.2% YS Min., ksi (MPa) 0.2% YS Max., ksi (MPa) TS, ksi (MPa) Elongation Reduction of area Min.
N07718 120K < 254 mm 120 (824) 145 (1000) 150 (1034) 20% 35%
N07718 120K > 254 mm 120 (824) 145 (1000) 150 (1034) 20% 25%
N07718 140K < 254 mm 140 (965) 150 (1034) 165 (1138) 20% 35%
N07718 140K > 254 mm 140 (965) 150 (1034) 165 (1138) 20% 25%

 

Impact toughness

The required impact toughness of UNS N07718 class 120K and 140K are described below,[1]ref1

UNS Material Designation Section thickness Orientation Minimum. Average, ft-lbs (J) TMinimum Single, ft-lbs (J) Lateral expansion, in (mm)
N07718 120K < 76 mm Longitudinal 50 (88) 45 (61) 0.015 (0.38)
N07718 120K ≥ 76—254 mm Transverse 35 (47) 30 (41) 0.015 (0.38)
N07718 120K > 254 mm Transverse 30 (41) 27 (37) 0.015 (0.38)
N07718 140K < 76 mm Longitudinal 50 (88) 45 (61) 0.015 (0.38)
N07718 140K ≥ 76—254 mm Transverse 35 (47) 30 (41) 0.015 (0.38)
N07718 140K > 254 mm Transverse 30 (41) 27 (37) 0.015 (0.38)

 

Hardness

The hardness limits of class 120K and 140K UNS N07718 are described below, [1]ref1

UNS Material Designation Minimum Hardness, HRC (HBW) Maximum Hardness, HRC (HBW)
N07718 120K 32 (a) 40 (a) b
N07718 140K 34 (a) 40 (a) b

 

a The conversion of hardness readings to or from other scales is material-dependent. Rockwell C scale is the preferred hardness method for hardness testing the family of alloys covered by API 6ACRA since compliance with ISO 15156 (ANSI/NACE MR0175) is frequently required, and ISO 15156 (ANSI/NACE MR0175) specifies the maximum acceptable hardness limits using the Rockwell C scale.[2]ref2 When conversions from other hardness scales to the Rockwell C scale are required or vice versa, one of two methods shall be used:

  • Hardness conversion agreed to by the equipment manufacturer and the end user
  • ASTM E140 conversion.

When a conflict exists between Rockwell C scale hardness numbers and Brinell hardness numbers, the Rockwell C scale shall be the referee method.
When a conversion other than the ASTM E140 conversion is utilized, the conversion method shall be documented and traceable to test results.
In accordance with ASTM E140, when reporting converted hardness numbers, the measured hardness and test scale shall be reported in parentheses. For example, 20.0 HRC (228 HBW), where 20.0 HRC is the converted hardness value and 228 HBW is the original measurement value and test scale.

b Maximum hardness limits shall be in accordance with ISO 15156 (ANSI/NACE MR0175).
