1. What is Alloy 901?

 

Alloy 901(UNS N09901), or Incoloy 901, is a precipitation-hardenable nickel-iron-chromium alloy developed for high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance in aerospace applications, such as turbine discs and compressor components. With titanium and aluminum additions, Alloy 901 material offers excellent creep and fatigue resistance, surpassing Alloy 800H in high-stress environments. Its age-hardening capability requires careful welding to maintain properties.

How Does Alloy 901 Compare to Alloy 41?

Alloy 901(UNS N09901) has higher iron content and is optimized for slightly lower temperatures (up to 1400°F) than Alloy 41 (up to 1800°F). Alloy 901 sheet is preferred for compressor blades due to its balance of strength and cost.
