REPORT Revised 1976-07

Superseding J470b
Submitted for recognition as an American National Standard

WROUGHT NICKEL AND NICKEL-RELATED ALLOYS

Foreword—This Reaffirmed Document has been changed only to reflect the new SAE Technical Standards Board
Format.

1. Scope—This Report presents general information on over 50 alloys in which nickel either predominates or is a
significant alloying element. It covers primarily wrought materials, and is not necessarily all inclusive. Values
given are in most cases average or nominal, and if more precise values are required the producer(s) should be
contacted. This report does not cover the so-called "superalloys," or the iron base stainless steels. Refer to
SAE J467, Special Purpose Alloys, and SAE J405, Chemical Compositions of SAE Wrought Stainless Steels,
respectively, for data on these alloys.

2. References

2.1 Applicable Publications—The following publications form a part of the specification to the extent specified
herein. Unless otherwise indicated the lastest revision of SAE publications shall apply.

2.1.1 SAE PUBLICATIONS—Available from SAE, 400 Commonwealth Drive, Warrendale, PA 15096-0001.

SAE J467—Special Purpose Alloys

SAE J405—Chemical Compositions of SAE Wrought Stainless Steels

Rationale—Not applicable.

Relationship of SAE Standard to ISO Standard—Not applicable.

Application—This Report presents general information on over 50 alloys in which nickel either predominates
or is a significant alloying element. It covers primarily wrought materials, and is not necessarily all
inclusive. Values given are in most cases average or nominal, and if more precise values are required
the producer(s) should be contacted. This report does not cover the so-called "superalloys," or the iron
base stainless steels. Refer to SAE J467, Special Purpose Alloys, and SAE J405, Chemical
Compositions of SAE Wrought Stainless Steels, respectively, for data on these alloys.
