The modulus of elasticity (Youngs modulus) of INCONEL alloy MA754 varies with the degree of crystallographic
texture imparted during hot working. For applications requiring resistance to thermal fatigue, the alloy is processed
to develop a low modulus of elasticity in the longitudinal direction. Young's modulus of INCONEL alloy MA754
varies with temperature according to the equation:
E/ERT = 0.9988 - (1.306 x 10-4 dT) - (4.298 x 10-8 dT2)
where:
E
ERT
dT

= Youngs modulus (psi) at temperature of interest,

= Youngs modulus at room temperature, and
= Temperature of interest minus room temperature (F).

INCONEL alloy MA754

Physical Properties

Table 1 - Nominal Chemical Composition, %

INCONEL alloy MA754 (UNS N07754) is an oxide

dispersion strengthened, nickel-chromium superalloy,
produced by mechanical alloying. Its yttrium oxide
dispersoid imparts exceptional high-temperature
strength and creep resistance to the highly corrosionresistant nickel-chromium matrix.
The alloys strength, in conjunction with its high
melting point and microstructural stability, makes it an
attractive material for gas turbine engine components,
furnace fixtures and skid rails, fasteners and other
applications where high temperature creep and
corrosion resistance are required.

Thermal & Electrical Properties

Thermal Expansion (CTE)

Electrical Resistivity

The thermal expansion characteristics of INCONEL alloy

MA754 closely match those of other chromium-containing
nickel alloys.

INCONEL alloy MA754 has resistivity characteristics

similar to those of 80-20 Ni-Cr resistance heating alloys. Its
oxide dispersion strengthening helps resist creep and
sagging at high temperatures.

Thermal Conductivity
This property increases with temperature and is higher than
for ceramics.

Mechanical Properties
Plate & Sheet
INCONEL alloy MA754 develops optimum high-temperature strength through controlled thermo-mechanical processing
designed to create a stable, recrystallized, coarse grain structure. Plate products are processed to achieve isotropic properties.

Textured Bar
INCONEL alloy MA754 can be processed to have a highly textured crystallographic structure, producing excellent resistance
to thermal fatigue. In such a condition, the properties are anisotropic. Elastic properties are also affected by the
crystallographic texture.
In this condition, the ODS mechanism is augmented, for superior mechanical properties in the longitudinal direction, by
the high aspect ratio grain structure. The highly directional structure is responsible for anisotropic mechanical properties. For
applications that require exceptional resistance to thermal fatigue, like gas turbine vanes, INCONEL alloy MA754 is given a
strong texture with a <100> crystallographic direction parallel to the working direction. Such texture results in a low modulus
of elasticity in the longitudinal direction, improving resistance to thermal fatigue by lowering stresses for given thermal
strains.

Corrosion Resistance
Oxidation Resistance

Nitridation Resistance

INCONEL alloy MA754 has excellent oxidation resistance.

It may be used in high-temperature oxidizing environments
without the need for expensive special coatings usually
required for conventional high-temperature alloys.

The nature of the alloys protective scale, and its high nickel
content, provide excellent resistance to nitridation.

INCONEL alloy MA754 is one of the most creep-resistant

commercially available alloys for service at over 2000F
(1095C). This characteristic offers superior resistance to
bowing and sagging under load at high temperatures. The
alloy has good thermal fatigue resistance compared to many
high strength superalloys. Thermal strains are reduced in the
low modulus direction of textured bar.

Working
Machining
The alloy is readily machined by all conventional techniques. Its annealed hardness is Rc 29. If electric discharge machining
(EDM) or laser cutting is to be used, it is recommended that the recast layer be removed by grinding.
Information on machining is available in the Special Metals publication Machining on the website,
www.specialmetals.com.

Joining
The strongest joints are produced by processes such as laser and electron beam welding and diffusion bonding. Brazing has
been used for years with great success in applications such as gas turbine engines. Mechanical joints such as rivets, pins,
threaded connections and fir tree joints are also often used. Conventional TIG welding can be used but leads to reduced hightemperature stress rupture strength at the joint.
Information on joining is available in the Special Metals publication Joining on the website, www.specialmetals.com.

Forming
In the final annealed condition, INCONEL alloy MA754 has a coarse, creep resistant grain structure, and thus exhibits limited
hot formability. The alloy can be hot worked into the desired shape prior to the grain coarsening final anneal. INCONEL alloy
MA754 is easily cold worked, but such deformation may cause the alloy to recrystallize to a fine grain condition upon
exposure to high temperature. A fine grain structure will have reduced high temperature strength properties. Special Metals
Corporation should be contacted to work with the fabricator to develop such processes.

Product Forms
INCONEL alloy MA754 is designated as UNS N07754.
Alloy MA754 is available as tube, sheet, plate, round bar
