B-1900 Ni Superalloy

Material Description

B-1900 was a nickel based superalloy developed in the 1960's[1]. Its primary use, like most superalloys, is in high temperature applications like turbine airfoils[2]. The nominal specifications are captured in the table below [3].

Element Ni C Cr Co Mo Fe Al B Ti Ta W Zr Hf
Percentage 64 0.1 8 10 6 - 6 0.015 1 4 - 0.10 1.5(for B-1900 + Hf only)

Mechanical Properties

The mechanical properties of this alloy are given for tension and compression tests considering temperature and strain rate.

Tensile Properties

Stress Strain 8.33

Stress strain behavior in tension and at various temperatures. Strain rate = 8.33e-5 s-1[4].

Stress Strain 100

Stress strain behavior in tension and at various temperatures. Strain rate = 100e-6 s-1[5].

Stress Strain 2060

Stress strain behavior in tension and at various temperatures. Strain rate = 100e-6 s-1[5].

Fatigue Properties

Strain life behavior 4

Strain life behavior at various temperatures[4].

Strain life behavior 6

Strain life behavior at two temperatures and with three methods: HROP - Bithermal high rate out-of-phase CCOP - Bithermal compressive creep out-of-phase TMOP - Thermo mechanical out-of-phase[6].
