Being a PED certified Fasteners Manufacturer by TUV Rheinland,our fasteners are accompanied with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certification. NIMONIC 80A Flange Rings are available in hot forged,cold forged and bar stock machined conditions depending upon the order quantity.
Nimonic 80a Flange Rings — Forged Ring Specifications
Nimonic 80a Flange rings are seamless rolled or open-die forged components used as pressure-vessel flanges, valve bodies, hub-mount blanks, and shaft-end retention rings. TorqBolt supplies Nimonic 80a Flange rings per ASTM A182 (forged flange standard), ASTM A266/A668 (carbon ring), and EN 10222 (pressure-purpose forging), in OD sizes from 50 mm up to 3000 mm.
Forging Process
Rings are produced via either seamless ring rolling (radial-axial mill, for OD > 200 mm) or open-die hammer forging (for short-run / oversize parts). Reduction ratio ≥ 4:1 from billet to final ring is enforced for grain-flow continuity. Heat treatment is per the alloy spec — solution-anneal + quench + age for precipitation-hardening alloys; quench & temper for low-alloy steels.
Dimensional Tolerance
Nimonic 80a Flange rings are supplied to ASTM A788 dimensional tolerances by default: OD ±1.5 mm or ±1% (whichever is larger), ID ±1.5 mm, height ±0.8 mm. Tighter tolerances (machined finish, ±0.1 mm) available for direct-mount applications. Out-of-roundness controlled to 1.5 mm; concentricity 0.2 mm/100 mm.
Mechanical Testing
Each ring lot ships with full mechanical certification: tensile (ASTM E8), Charpy impact (ASTM E23) at the application's MDMT, hardness traverse, and grain size per ASTM E112. For Nimonic 80a Flange ring stock destined for hydrogen / sour service, additional HIC testing (NACE TM0284) and SSC testing (NACE TM0177) per the customer's spec.
Surface & Inspection
Nimonic 80a Flange rings ship rough-machined or finish-machined per drawing. Standard NDT: 100 % UT (ASTM A388 reference) and surface MT/PT to ASTM E709 / E165. Radiography on request. Each ring is hard-stamped with heat number, lot, and certification reference for traceability through the dispatch chain.
Nimonic — Nickel-Chromium Wrought Superalloys
Nimonic is a family of wrought nickel-chromium superalloys originally developed for jet-engine turbine blade and bolting service, where steady-state operating temperatures exceed 700°C under high cyclic stress. Composition centers on ~50-75% Ni, 15-22% Cr, 0-20% Co with Ti+Al additions for γ' precipitation hardening. Nimonic alloys retain creep strength well beyond the limits of conventional Fe-Ni-Cr superalloys.
Nimonic 75 (UNS N06075) is the simplest grade: solid-solution Ni-Cr without precipitation hardening, used for furnace fixtures and mild-temperature bolting to 760°C. Nimonic 80A (N07080) adds Ti+Al for age-hardening — tensile ~1100 MPa, the workhorse of steam-turbine and exhaust-valve bolting per ASTM B637 / AMS 5662. Nimonic 90 (N07090) adds 16-20% Co for service to 920°C with stress-rupture life suitable for gas-turbine combustor bolts.
Nimonic fasteners ship per ASTM B637 / B564 with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certs covering chemistry, hardness (HRC 30-42), tensile at room + elevated temperature, and stress-rupture acceptance per the heat-treat condition. NACE MR0175 sour-service compliance available in solution-annealed condition.
